File types

Enable toolbars in canvases, PDFs, video, and other common file types under the File types settings. There you can toggle each type you would like to see your toolbars in.

  • As with toolbars in notes, which toolbar appears in other file types depend on its Display rules.
  • Toolbars appear based on their position, 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 sort out their data type (e.g., excalidraw). Here are some hints on how to figure out what to enter here:

  • This is not the same as the file's extension (e.g., Excalidraw files actually have a .md file extension).
  • 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.
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.
