Base Source Editor

This is a plugin for Obsidian that provides a 'source mode' for editing Bases.

This plugin adds a new Base Source mode view for editing the YAML source code of Bases directly within Obsidian.

Features

• Edit Base files as plain-text YAML without leaving Obsidian.
• Search & replace, mirroring Obsidian's native behaviour. Supports case-sensitive search!
  • The search/replace command is accessed the same way as for native Markdown notes, either from the Command palette or the file menu.
• Theme-aware YAML syntax highlighting, utilising Obsidian's built-in CSS variables.
• Full mobile support.

Usage

Base Source mode can be toggled using:

• The command 'Toggle source mode' from the Command palette.
• The 'Source mode/Base mode' toggle visible when a Base is open.
