Copy Note Content

Copy the full raw Markdown of the currently-open note to your clipboard.

This plugin is designed to work well on Obsidian Mobile (where you can add commands to the toolbar), and also adds a desktop ribbon icon for quick access.

Features

• Copy the full raw text of the active Markdown note (.md) to clipboard.
• Right-click a note, a multi-file selection, or a folder to copy them.
• Each copied note has its title prepended as an H1; multiple notes are joined with a horizontal rule.
• Toggle to include or strip YAML frontmatter (Settings → Copy Note Content).
• Mobile-friendly: exposes a command that can be added to the mobile toolbar.
• Desktop-friendly: includes a ribbon icon in the left sidebar.
