Mark and Select

anselmwanganselmwang4k downloads

Set mark, move cursors freely and select from mark to cursor position.

  • Overview
  • Scorecard
  • Updates2

This is a Obsidian plug in, provides flexible commands to select a region of text.

Usage

  • Set mark (Ctrl-@)
  • Select from mark (Ctrl-#)

By combining with other cursor navigation methods, this plugin can be very powerful. For example, to select the content of one heading, below are the steps:

  • Set mark
  • Jump to next heading by "Quick Switcher++: Open in Symbol Mode"
  • Select from mark

This plugin is especially useful for Obsidian mobile, since selection by long tap + scrolling is very slow for long texts and the selection could easily disappear (may be a bug in mobile phone).

About
Set a mark and select the text between the mark and the cursor to create flexible, range-based selections. Combine with cursor navigation to select spans like entire headings and speed up selection on mobile where long-tap scrolling is slow.
