Alt-Click to Copy
This straightforward plugin enables users to copy data from code blocks using an alt-click shortcut, applicable only in reading view.
Keyshots Plugin
Keyshots introduces popular IDE hotkey commands, such as moving lines up or down, inserting lines, and toggling readable line lengths. It also offers double-key commands for actions triggered by pressing a specific key twice, which can be configured in the settings.
iCloud Contacts Integration
This plugin allows for the synchronization of iCloud contacts directly into a designated folder within your Obsidian vault.
Dynamic Text Concealer
Dynamic Text Concealer enables users to hide specific text in their notes using customizable regular expressions, which is beneficial for concealing metadata utilized by other plugins. This functionality is available in both Live Preview and Reading modes.
Revamped Timelines
The revamped Timelines plugin allows users to create timelines based on notes tagged with specific labels, offering both dynamic and static rendering options. To include a note in a timeline, it must contain the appropriate tags and valid frontmatter or HTML tags.
Canvas Daily Note
Canvas Daily Note introduces a daily note node to the canvas, featuring a button that adds a new file node for the daily note. This node updates automatically to reflect today's date when the canvas is accessed.
Contribution Graph
The Contribution Graph plugin generates interactive heatmap graphs, useful for tracking notes, habits, and activities. Users can easily customize the graph by selecting various styles, including Git Style, Monthly Track, or Calendar.
Journals Plugin
The Journals plugin assists users in managing their journals, offering calendar-based options (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly notes) or interval-based journals. It supports variables in note names, storage paths, and template content for easier navigation.
Seafile Integration
Seafile is a plugin that leverages Seafile as a backend to synchronize notes across devices. It focuses on reliability and efficiency, displaying the sync status for each file with an icon for immediate syncing initiation.
