0.1.0 — Initial Release

Text Formatting Toolbar for Obsidian

A floating formatting toolbar that appears above selected text in the editor, similar to the toolbar in Linear or Notion.

Features

• Floating toolbar appears automatically when you select text in any markdown editor
• Built-in formatting buttons: Text Style (heading dropdown), Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikethrough, Highlight, Link, Inline Code, Code Block, Comment, Lists (dropdown), Blockquote, Copy, Cut
• Heading dropdown — set paragraph or heading level H1–H6 with active-state checkmark
• Lists dropdown — toggle bullet list, numbered list, or checkbox with active-state checkmark
• Smart formatting — block-level prefixes (headings, blockquotes, list markers) are preserved outside inline markers, so #### *italic heading* renders correctly
• Toggle formatting off — clicking a format button again on already-formatted text removes the formatting
• Hide any default button via plugin settings
• Commander integration — if Commander is installed, you can add any Obsidian command to the toolbar from Commander's settings
