0.145.0

Added

• Configuration hot-reload for Lua — the Lua configuration file (init.lua) is now watched for changes. Saving the file triggers a soft-reload that tears down the old Lua state and re-initializes it without a plugin reload, matching the existing vimrc hot-reload behavior. (#168)
  • Plugin: src/main.ts (added Lua file watcher, softReloadLuaConfig() method)
• New configuration management commands — two new Obsidian commands for managing configuration files:
  • Vim Motions: Reload configuration — reloads both vimrc and Lua config files immediately.
  • Vim Motions: Open configuration in default editor — opens all active configuration files (vimrc and/or Lua) in the system's default external editor. Desktop only.
  • Plugin: src/main.ts (added reload-configuration and open-configuration commands, reloadAllConfigs() and openConfigInDefaultEditor() methods)

Fixed

• reload-configuration fails when initial vimrc load missed the file — if the initial vimrc load hit the known adapter timing race (empty file read during early lifecycle), vimrcWatchPath was null and the reload command silently did nothing. Fixed by resolving the vimrc path on-demand in reloadAllConfigs() when vimrcWatchPath is null. (#168)
  • Plugin: src/main.ts (reloadAllConfigs() path resolution fallback)
• reload-configuration notification shown when notifications disabled — the generic "configuration reloaded" notice was shown when showConfigNotifications was disabled, and was also shown when configMode was settings (no configs to reload). Fixed: generic notice only shows when notifications are suppressed as a minimal confirmation; shows "no configuration files to reload" when neither config type is active. (#168)
  • Plugin: src/main.ts (reloadAllConfigs() notification logic)
• Non-markdown files missing from :files, :buffers, and buffer navigation — :files only listed .md files (used getMarkdownFiles()), :buffers only listed markdown leaves (checked getViewType() === 'markdown'), and ]b/[b, :b <name>, :find, :bfirst/:blast all had the same markdown-only filters. Canvas, base, and other file-backed views were invisible to all buffer/file commands. Fixed by replacing getMarkdownFiles() with getFiles() for file listing, getViewType() checks with instanceof FileView for leaf iteration, and adding leaf.getRoot() === rootSplit guards to exclude sidebar panel views (backlink, outline, etc.) from buffer commands. (#169)
  • Plugin: src/picker/sources/files.ts (getMarkdownFiles() → getFiles())
  • Plugin: src/picker/sources/buffers.ts (getViewType() → instanceof FileView + rootSplit guard)
  • Plugin: src/workspace/commands.ts (:buffers fallback modal, :find, :b, :bfirst/:blast — same FileView + rootSplit pattern)
  • Plugin: src/ui/global-ex-command.ts (global ex fallbacks: findFile, bufferSwitch, bufferFirstLast)
  • Plugin: src/motions/buffers.ts (renamed getMarkdownLeaves → getFileLeaves, instanceof FileView + rootSplit, removed .endsWith('.md') fallback filter)

Tests

• 6 e2e tests in test/specs/config-management.e2e.ts for #168 (vimrc reload picks up new mappings; reloaded mapping works functionally; Lua config reload via command; open-configuration registered; reload-configuration registered; open-configuration does not throw)
• 6 regression tests in test/specs/files-buffers-non-md.e2e.ts for #169 (:files picker includes .canvas files; :buffers picker includes canvas leaves; :find navigates to canvas file; :b switches to canvas leaf; :blast works with canvas leaf present; ]b reaches canvas leaf)
