Plugin for opening new notes in a floating window in Obsidian.

How to use

  • Just run the provided command New Note New Window: Create New Note in Window, or better yet add a custom shortcut through settings!

New Notes are created in the folder path set under the "Default location for new notes" in Obsidian Settings > Files & Links.

Settings

Setting Default Description
Reuse Floating Window false if true new notes will open in the same floating window
if false new notes will create a new floating window
Create in the default folder true if true new notes will be created in the default Obsidian folder (as configured)
if false new notes will be created in the specified folder
Custom folder "" Custom folder in wich to create the new notes. Only used when Create in the default folder is set to false

Manually installing the plugin

  • Copy over the main.js, manifest.json from the latest release to your vault VaultFolder/.obsidian/plugins/new-note-new-window/.

TODOs

  • Add an option to create new commands with a set of configuration combinations. E.g. to be able to create a separate hotkey for creating files on path X and another on path Y.
