Beacon 1.4.0
Vault Searchlight is now Beacon. The plugin ID remains vault-searchlight, so existing installations continue updating normally.
Highlights
- New compact, middle-right in-file heading navigator with rendered Markdown headings, H1–H6 hierarchy, hover-aware current-heading context, search highlighting, and keyboard navigation
- Jumping from the heading navigator now selects and highlights the full destination heading until the next editor action
- Vault-relative file and glob exclusions across every search mode
- Optional Excalidraw Data exclusion for heading navigation
- Refined Apple-like floating search and heading interfaces with theme-aware colors, compact spacing, hidden scrollbars, and stronger hierarchy indentation
- Preserved current-file, all-files, properties, and tags search modes, exact phrases, operators, optional fuzzy matching, persistent sorting, and click-to-jump highlights
- Improved excluded-file accessibility feedback
Validation
- Tested only in Obsidian 1.13.7 using the Tester vault
