paperWeight

Keeps your folded headings completely folded, even after copy/paste or indenting.

The problem

Obsidian unfolds everything when you paste text, and re-indenting a folded section can knock its fold state loose. If you rely on folded headings to keep long notes organized, this gets annoying fast.

Features

Paste preserves folds Copy a folded section and paste it elsewhere (even in a different note): its folded parts stay folded, instead of Obsidian automatically unfolding everything on paste.

copy

Toggle fold for everything in a selection Select a range of text and run "Toggle fold for everything in selection" from the command palette to fold or unfold every heading, list item, code block, or callout inside it in one go. The toggle is configurable to any keybind.

Installation

From Obsidian

  1. Open Settings → Community plugins
  2. Click Browse and search for "paperWeight"
  3. Click Install, then Enable

Manual installation

  1. Download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css (if present) from the latest release
  2. Create a folder paperWeight inside your vault's .obsidian/plugins/ directory
  3. Copy the downloaded files into that folder
  4. Reload Obsidian and enable PaperWeight under Settings → Community plugins

Usage

  • Copy/paste: works automatically, no setup needed.
  • Toggle fold in selection: select text, then run the command from the command palette (Ctrl/Cmd + P), or select keybind in settings.
  • Indent-safe folding: works automatically on load, no setup needed.

Known limitations

  • Multi-cursor copy (multiple simultaneous selections) does not currently preserve fold state: copy/paste will still work normally, folds just won't be restored in that case.
