Pointix Sheet Navigation

A lightweight companion plugin for Obsidian + Sheet Plus that improves spreadsheet navigation without replacing Sheet Plus.

Stable version

v1.1.2

Touch / pen

• Drag to pan the sheet.
• Tap to select a cell.
• Double tap can hand off a copy request to the separate Pointix Sheet Copy plugin.

PC / laptop / macOS

• Normal click keeps native Sheet Plus behavior.
• Alt / Option + left-click + drag pans the spreadsheet.

The touch/pen path and the desktop mouse path are intentionally isolated so one does not interfere with the other.

Requirements

• Obsidian
• Sheet Plus

Optional:

• Pointix Sheet Copy for fast cell copying.

Manual installation

Place this repository's plugin files in:

.obsidian/plugins/pointix-sheet-navigation/

Required files:

main.js
manifest.json
styles.css

Then enable Pointix Sheet Navigation in Obsidian → Settings → Community plugins.

Why this exists

Sheet Plus is powerful, but some workflows benefit from a dedicated pan gesture, especially on touch devices and when working with large sheets.

Pointix Sheet Navigation focuses only on navigation. Clipboard behavior lives in a separate plugin so stable navigation does not need to be rewritten when copy behavior changes.

Compatibility

Designed for:

• Windows desktops and laptops
• macOS / MacBook
• Android phones and tablets
• iPhone / iPad
• Touch screens and pen/stylus input

Input routing uses Pointer Events (mouse, touch, pen) rather than only OS detection.

Support

If you find a problem, you can:

• Email [email protected].
• Open a GitHub issue.

Please include the device, operating system, Obsidian version, Sheet Plus version, expected behavior, actual behavior, and a short screen recording when useful. Please do not include passwords, tokens, private notes, or entire vaults in support requests.

Pointix Sheet Copy is optional. Navigation remains focused on moving around Sheet Plus sheets, while Copy provides dedicated clipboard tools.
