Folder New Note Button

Adds a subtle "+" button to every folder in Obsidian's Files view. Hover a folder title (or focus it with the keyboard) to show the button and create a new note directly inside that folder.

Features

• Hover or Focus: Reveal a minimal "+" button on the right side of any folder title.
• Mobile Support: Button is always visible on mobile devices, positioned to avoid overlap with the drag handle.
• Native Feel: Creates a uniquely named Markdown file and immediately selects the title for renaming, matching Obsidian's native "New note" behavior.
• Smart Selection: Supports both the inline title and the view header title (if inline title is disabled).
• Clean: Works alongside multiple File Explorer panes and cleans up completely when disabled.

Installation

1. Copy the folder-new-note-button folder (containing manifest.json, main.js, and styles.css) into your vault's .obsidian/plugins/ directory.
2. Reload Obsidian or toggle the plugin on from Settings → Community Plugins.
3. Hover over any folder in the Files view and click the "+" button to create a new note there.

Notes

• The plugin avoids the global app instance and uses Obsidian's provided APIs.
• No desktop-only APIs are used, ensuring full mobile compatibility.
