Editor Autofocus

mgussekloomgussekloo2k downloads

Autofocus the editor when opening a new file.

Add to Obsidian
  • Overview
  • Scorecard
  • Updates1

This plugin autofocuses the editor window.

It works best with Filename heading sync to make creating new notes easy and efficient: this plugin lets you skip entering a name in the the tab title bar by autofocusing the editor window. After autofocusing, it selects the heading (if there is a heading on the first line) in order to let you directly rename the title / note.

Autofocus will only happen if a note has less than 3 lines. The first heading will only be selected if there is one on the first line of the note (the plugin "Filename heading sync" creates such a heading automatically).

Please let me know if you use this plugin!

About
Autofocus the editor when opening notes shorter than three lines to start typing immediately. Select the first-line heading (if present) to rename the title directly.
