Lock Drag and Drop

Lock Drag and Drop prevents accidental drag & drop in Obsidian sidebars.

You can click on the move button at the top to enable drag & drop only when needed.

On Mobile, long press immediately triggers context-menu instead of drag & drop.

Development

Install dependencies and build the plugin:

pnpm install
pnpm run build

The build writes main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css to ./dist/.

Then symlink the ./dist/ folder from the Obsidian plugin folder.

ln -s <path to ./dist/> lock-drag-and-drop

If you want to sync your plugins, you will need to copy the folder instead of symlinking.

Creating a release

Run below command to create and upload new version tag. This makes use of npm version lifecycle hook and the script.

pnpm version 1.0.0
git push origin main 1.0.0
