Select Random Line Plugin

Plugin for the application Obsidian Notes

Adds a new command to the Obsidian Notes Application:

• Select Random Line - Intelligently selects a random line based on your current context

How to Use

The plugin has two modes of operation:

Mode 1: With Selection

1. Select some text in your note that spans multiple lines
2. Run the command Select Random Line (you can find it in the Command Palette, assign it to a hotkey, or add it to your toolbar)
3. The plugin will randomly select one line from within your selection that contains text content

Mode 2: No Selection (Just Cursor)

1. Simply place your cursor anywhere in the document (no selection needed)
2. Run the command Select Random Line
3. The plugin will randomly select any line from the entire file that contains text content

This is useful for:

• Randomly picking items from lists
• Getting random inspiration from brainstorming notes
• Randomly selecting lines for review or processing
