[FEATURE REQUEST] MACRO - Additional Commands

[FelipeRearden]

Hello @chhoumann !

My feature request is an Additional Commands to the MACRO Configuration (between Obsidian Commands and Scripts.

I was thinking about a new set of commands:

• a. Copy
• b. Paste
• c. Cut
• d. Select active line (make a selection of the line the text cursor is placed)
• e. Select internal link (if the text cursor is placed in a internal link [[]] the command will select all the internal link )

User case

One of my main uses for Obsidian is to write. I import parts of books, highlights, articles to Obsidian and create many notes based on these sources.

This way, I have to do much transfer between notes and edit inside the same note

• I always use internal links to keep the reference. It's very important to know the origin because I mix chunks of different sources inside one single note.

If I could have a set of MACROS to automatically select/cut/copy lines and the internal links and transfer to other predefined files, would be a game-changer for me.

• The amount of time I spend selecting/Copying/Cutting is a lot.

Example

This is one of my writing workflows:

• The right side is my sources notes using Obsidian Tabs
• The left side is my Workbench
• The left Sidebar is my quick notes notes
  

I extract text and block references from the sources notes and quick notes to Workbench
Then I maximize workbench to "edit" my note: writing my own words, reorder text, using css/html to make beautiful notes

...

That why I'm requesting these 5 additional commands to the MACRO choice. :)

Thanks for you time and for this powerful plug-in!!!!!!!!!

Hello @chhoumann !!!!

The additional commands are perfect. Just what I need to make my workflow a smart workflow.

Thank you so much for this. You have no ideia how this new commands are important to me :)

One little information about select active line and select link on active line if I run one of these commands in an empty line it generates an notification and error on Console.

• But I didn't see any problems with Obsidian after this behavior.

Thank you very much :)
