Section 1.1: Note Companion Folder
The Note Companion Folder plugin enables users to maintain a distinct folder for attachments associated with each note. By default, this folder is set as a sibling to the note, but you can adjust this setting. Users have the flexibility to position the companion folder either adjacent to the note or within a subdirectory of their vault. If a companion folder is absent, it will be automatically created when any of the plugin’s commands are executed.
Section 1.2: Tab Selector
This plugin simplifies tab navigation, allowing users to switch to their desired tab with just two keystrokes, enhancing the efficiency of navigating through their Obsidian vault.
Chapter 2: Advanced Features
This video, titled Obsidian Plugin Spotlight - The Review Plugin, provides an in-depth overview of how this plugin enhances your note-taking experience, showcasing its various functionalities.
Section 2.1: Default Query in Backlinks
This plugin allows users to configure default queries in the backlinks panel, enabling them to collapse results, modify sort orders, and expand unlinked mentions. It remembers the settings for each file, helping to declutter the backlinks view by filtering out less relevant links, such as daily notes.
Section 2.2: Metafolders
Metafolders transform file management by addressing common challenges. They create a tree structure of notes based on customizable properties that link to parent notes, allowing notes to appear in multiple folders.
Section 2.3: Spellcheck Toggler
With the Spellcheck Toggler, users gain control over spellcheck functionalities, enabling toggling for both internal and external links as needed.
Section 2.4: Project Browser
The Project Browser replaces the traditional new tab window with a browsable layout of your vault. Notable features include:
- Card view for files and folders
- Seamless navigation between folders
- Easy state management for notes
- Quick file creation via a dedicated button
Section 2.5: Verse of the Day
This plugin facilitates the addition of a daily Bible verse from YouVersion, offering users the option to select their preferred language through the settings.
Section 2.6: Canvas CSS Class
The Canvas CSS Class plugin makes it easy for users to add or remove CSS classes from canvas files. It supports both currently opened and unopened files, allowing for flexible styling options.
Section 2.7: Etymology Lookup
With Etymology Lookup, users can explore the origins of English words directly within their notes. This feature pulls information from Douglas Harper’s Online Etymology Dictionary, making it particularly beneficial for language learners and enthusiasts.
Section 2.8: Templify
The Templify plugin allows for the application of various layouts to notes, including templates like the Eisenhower Matrix, Cornell Note, KG Note, and Daily Note, which can be added via the ribbon button or command palette.
Section 2.9: Cards View
This plugin introduces a card view for notes, enabling sorting by creation or modification date, along with filtering options.
Section 2.10: Moulinette
The Moulinette plugin enhances Obsidian's functionality by integrating with Moulinette, a content distribution platform for tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs). It provides access to a range of content, including images, sounds, and music, which can be easily incorporated into notes.
