Atlas

Notion-like navigation plugin for Obsidian.

Description

This plugin allows to emulate Notion's navigation behavior by :

• Adding a persistent bar over the title with :
  • a breadcrumb to open and create parent notes;
  • a button to reveal the current note in the tree view;
  • a button to create the note folder;
  • a button to create a child note.
• Adding a child note link list below the title, sorted in alphabetical order.
• Adding a tree view contextual menu option to :
  • create a folder note;
  • create a note folder;
  • create a child note.
• Keeping the note and its folder together in the tree view, sorted in :
  • natural alphabetical order;
  • reverse natural alphabetical order;
  • creation time order;
  • reverse creation time order;
  • modification time order;
  • reverse modification time order.

The tree view can therefore remain hidden most of the time, as the editing view can now also be used for navigation and note creation.

Installation

• In your vault folder, create a .obsidian/plugins/atlas subfolder.
• Copy main.js, manifest.json and styles.css inside this subfolder.
• Enable the Atlas plugin from the Community plugins settings panel.
