File types

Under the File types settings, toggle whether toolbars appear in canvases, PDFs, video, and in other common file types.

  • Which toolbar appears in these file types depend on its Display rules, as they do with notes.
  • Toolbars appear based on their Position setting, with the exception of the Below Properties position, in which case the toolbar appears in the Top (fixed) position instead.

Other data types

In the Other data types setting, you can manually list out other file types not shown above, if you can figure out their data type (e.g., excalidraw). Here are some hints on how to figure out what to enter here:

  • This uses the data type, which can be found by:
    1. inspecting the editor with the developer console when you have a file open, and
    2. searching for the data-type attribute.
  • This is not the same as the file's extension (e.g., Excalidraw files actually have a .md file extension).
For this plugin/view... ...enter this data type
Excalidraw excalidraw
Graph view graph
(Uses the New tab view toolbar, if one is configured.)

Let me know if you need help trying to figure this out for a given plugin or file type.
