Calculations, date arithmetic, and quicker editing

  • Create computed Variable Links and inline calculations with note properties, arithmetic, list-aware math functions, and clear [Expression error] feedback.
  • Turn inline expressions into permanent Variable Links from the right-click menu, with suggested names and explicit review before creation.
  • Work with Date, Time, and Date-time values, custom display formats, and calendar-aware add/subtract operations. Compact durations such as 3M5m work during creation and in selectors.
  • Find links, note properties, values, and saved shortcuts using focused searches and improved inline help.
  • Use fixed and property-backed lists with named items, chained selectors, word/character selection, and case transformations.
  • Hide rendered values while keeping them available to calculations and plugin tools.
  • Edit with Alt/Option-click, open compact inspectors with Shift+Alt/Option-click, and use new context-menu actions and assignable commands.
  • Manage shortcuts, Favorites, display names, and bulk changes in the Management Center. Draft preservation and stale-input checks help protect unsaved edits.

Requires Obsidian 1.13.7 or newer.
