Expanded controls for canvas. Clicking on a note/card creates an overlay in which all the content of that node can be read. Double-clicking on a note opens it in a new tab for editing. #popup #bubble

MM Notes Expand for Obsidian

A simple and lightweight plugin that adds new convenient mouse controls inside canvas!


Features

  • Single-click: Expands an overlay on top of any text-based node, allowing to read its full content regardless of the node's size itself.
  • Double-click: Opens the note in a new tab for editing, skipping the need to go through the navigation pane. Really useful for someone keeping, for instance, their interface split with a pinned canvas on one side and redacted notes on the other.
  • Each behavior can be turned on or off and customized with a few handy options, like resizing the overlay or keeping nodes in read-only.
Features

If you like this, be sure to check out my other plugins on the Obsidian community or on Github.

And feel free to support future updates and the development of other MM plugins by buying me a coffee. It's always appreciated!
