Word Pins

Pin words or phrases inside a long Markdown note. Keep many pins in the same file. Each pin has a time. You can delete any pin.

Works on desktop and Android.

What it does

• Pin the selected word, or the word under the cursor
• Many pins per note
• Each pin stores the word, line, and time
• Open the pin list and tap a pin to jump there
• Tap the trash button to delete one pin
• If you edit the note later, it tries to find the same word again

Pins are saved in the plugin data file. They do not change your Markdown text.

2. Select a word, or put the cursor on a word.
3. Run command Word Pins: Pin selection.
4. Open Word Pins: Open pin list, or tap the pin icon in the left ribbon.

Android

2. Open the command palette and run Pin selection.
3. Add that command to the mobile toolbar: Settings → Mobile → configure toolbar (or use the Commander plugin).

On desktop you can also right-click and choose Pin word.
