Obsidian is quite popular among writers, researchers, and students. When you create a long blog post, research paper, or project overview in Obsidian, navigating it using a keyboard and mouse can be cumbersome at times. Obsidian has a built-in feature to glance over page outlines and jump to relevant headings with a single click.
This is the 3rd article I’ve seen in two days about Obsidian tips and tricks. I have no idea why, but I have to admit even as a long time Obsidian user (I’ve done a video about it as well), I’ve actually picked up some new tips (because things change) so I suppose it is worth resharing something again about Obsidian.
New is a feature-rich Editing Toolbar at the top because the cMenu plugin I was using has not been updated for quite a while. This toolbar is more like the traditional toolbars you find on most word processors, and will be especially useful for new users.
I’d picked up on the Canvas plugin in an article yesterday, and it is quite a useful tool for mapping out thoughts and ideas for brainstorming, a bit like a mind map.
For me, apart from the rich ecosystem of plugins for Obsidian and the fact it saves in Markdown format, I make a lot of use of tagging and linking notes in Obsidian. I have hundreds of notes over the years, many of which were imported from when I used other Markdown editors.
