Obsidian Tree Edit

The plugin allows you to read the incoming markdown file by headers and their contents and display the entire header hierarchy in a tree structure from left to right. You can create, edit and delete headings.

How to install

How to use

You can open the Tree Edit preview for the current note with a command.

Click a card in the Edit Tree preview to change its content or add a new card.

Plugin options

Tree Edit has a horizontal or vertical preview window setting:

Features

• All headings and their contents are displayed as cards in a tree structure from left to right
• File without headings is displayed as as a single active card
• You can change the card's content (except the heading type) or cancel the changes made using the Esc key
• You can add a new card above or below the current one (it will be the same level as the current one) and add a card to the right (it will be one level lower than the current one)
• You can delete the whole chain of cards

Bugs

• Saving insi de a card breaks content (YAML splash, wiki links, tasks)
• Destroys content that is not under a heading
• Incorrect animation of active columns when scrolling up/down

Road map

• Allow character # at the beginning of a line in editing mode if it is inside a block of code with back quotes
• Configure the correct display of multiline text
• Add the correct display of cards if the file starts with a header of type 2 and higher
• Auto-correction of code blocks inside editing mode
• Add animation when adding/removing/clicking one/multiple columns at the same time
• Add add/merge/remove macros and their description to a separate block
• Save cards with Ctrl+Enter, not Shift+Enter
