For advanced usage, please refer to: [Editing Toolbar Plugin Advanced Guide · PKM-er/obsidian-editing-toolbar · Discussion #217](https://github.com/PKM-er/obsidian-editing-toolbar/discussions/217)" Thanks to the [cmenu](https://github.com/chetachiezikeuzor/cMenu-Plugin) plugin, which gave me a lot of inspiration, but this plugin has not been maintained for more than a year, so I re-modified it and added a lot of interesting features, including the top toolbar, cursor following, etc., so editing toolbar was created. **Obsidian Editing Toolbar** is a plugin that provides a toolbar similar to MS-Word，and adds a minimal and user friendly text editor modal for a smoother writing/editing experience . This plugin makes text editing and firing commands easier for those that don't wish to configure a multitude of hotkeys.No need to remember complex markdown commands, similar to a rich text editor as WYSIWYG. This plugin was specifically designed for note-takers that want to have a simple text editor to aid in marking up their notes. It solves the issue of having to memorize numerous hotkeys and/or use multiple key presses to get the desired markup. A simple toolbar to improve your writing experience in Obsidian！ > It is recommended to work with [Enhanced Editing Plugin](https://github.com/obsidian-canzi/Enhanced-editing), which can add more useful editing commands. ## TOC - [obsidian-editing-toolbar Plugin](#obsidian-editing-toolbar-plugin) - [TOC](#toc) - [how-to-install](#how-to-install) - [Video Introduction](#video-introduction) - [Key Features](#key-features) - [Work with other plugins](#work-with-other-plugins) - [Full Vault showcase](#full-vault-showcase) - [support](#support) ## how-to-install Please Refer: [How to install Obsidian Plugins](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/plugins-mini-faq/7737) ## Video Introduction [About Cmenu toolbar](https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1mY4y1T7g2/) [Obsidian 插件：Editing Toolbar 必装的可视化编辑工具]( https://pkmer.cn/show/20230329145815 ) ## Key Features This differs from the cmenu plugin in the following points: 1. add a new toolbar style tiny 2. add toolbar position options, top, following 3. support multi-window, multi-tab adapted to obsidian 0.14+ 4. add some built-in commands 1. change-font-color 2. change-background-color 3. indent-list 4. undent-list 5. editor-undo 6. editor-redo 7. hrline will insert a `---` split line 8. justify Both ends aligned Inserts an html code to align the text at both ends `
