Great video. Very helpful and easy to understand.

[@plus1creator]

Much love; so glad it hit the mark for you. 🙏

[@flamesjames]

Great tutorial - thank you!

[@plus1creator]

You're welcome; happy you like it.

Thanks for the great video. Do you know if there's a way (or a plugin) to highlight the search keyword in the note? say i have a long.note with the keyword below the fold and when i open the note, I still have to scroll down to find the keyword. It would be nice if when i open the note, the view is scrolled such that the first instance of the keyword is in view and highlighted.

[@plus1creator]

Nothing comes to mind that would automatically highlight the word in the note once it's open. I usually do "CMD+F" for "find" and then type the term. That will jump to the right spot.

[@SteveOkamoto]

@@plus1creator Thanks 👍 that works

[@plus1creator]

@@SteveOkamoto Also, I just tried the standard search that's looking for a word in a line. It previews the line in the search AND it will open the note and place the cursor on the line and highlight the term. Seems like they already figured this out!

[@SteveOkamoto]

@@plus1creator interesting. seems like it's random on my app. sometimes it'll anchor correctly, other times it won't, and i've not seen it highlight (but when it does anchor, the cursor is placed right before the keyword). the ⌘+F seems to be nice fix (even though it is another step)

How do you get your tabs to go vertical?? still looking for that feature but can’t figure it out!

[@plus1creator]

Can you give me a timestamp of what you're talking about?

[@kitebarbie]

@@plus1creator more like having them vertical, like books in a shelf, with the tab titles up and down… the convention seems to be across the top, side-by-side… I don’t know if I’m making sense… “Random Note 54,” and the other notes are like books, titles going down, not across. So, not really a time stamp to give you, bc it is a layout format?

[@kitebarbie]

@@plus1creatormaybe it’s the theme you’re using ?

[@plus1creator]

@@kitebarbie Not yet. What time in the video can you see the elements you're talking about? But it might be "tab stacking" which is a down carat in the upper right corner. Click that then choose "stack tabs" and you might get what you're seeing if you want that to happen.

[@plus1creator]

@@kitebarbie Nope. It's a core function that used to be a community plug-in, but it was so popular that it got rolled into the core functionality.

[@tsbob7847]

Can Obsidian do global search and replace? I only see it working within a single file.

[@plus1creator]

I don't think it can do it stock, but I'm positive there's a plug-in out there somewhere that can do it. Or use something like Notepad++ to run it on the vault directory outside the obsidian environment.

[@kitebarbie]

Still catching up with all your great vids… looking forward to the big reveal in a few days!

[@plus1creator]

Thanks for plowing through!

[@kitebarbie]

@@plus1creator Your content on Obsidian is in the top two most helpful IMO… it’s at the perfect level-for those literate and competent in various computer conventions, but not at a level where you need an undergrad degree in programming languages. I love it. Thank you for real.

[@plus1creator]

@@kitebarbie that means the world to have you say that; thank you!

Omnisearch is better

[@plus1creator]

You're right. Since I wanted this to be an intro-level explainer, I wanted to keep it to what's already functional in Obsidian as it comes out of the box. I'll probably do one on Omnisearch in the future.
