Sync Embeds for Obsidian

A simple, powerful plugin to create fully editable, live-synced note embeds. Edit your notes from anywhere, seamlessly.

---

Features

• Truly Native Editing: Embeds are not a simulation. They are the actual Obsidian editor, so everything from syntax highlighting to inline rendering works as expected.
• Live Two-Way Sync: Changes made in an embed are instantly reflected in the original note, and vice-versa.
• Seamless Look & Feel: Embeds blend perfectly into your notes with no distracting borders or titles.
• Simple to Use: Just place a note link inside a sync code block.

How to Use

There are two ways to create a synced embed:

1. Manual Method

Wrap one or more standard Obsidian embeds inside a sync code block.

```sync
![[My Note To Edit]]
![[Another Note]]
```

The code block will be replaced with a live, editable version of "My Note To Edit" and "Another Note".

2. Command Palette

1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+P or Cmd+P).
2. Search for "Sync Embeds: Insert synced embed".
3. A sync block will be inserted at your cursor's position. If you have text selected, it will be used as the note name.

Important Limitation: Keyboard Shortcuts

Please be aware that most keyboard shortcuts and editor commands will not work when you are focused on a synced embed.

Why? Obsidian's commands and hotkeys are tied to the main "active" editor pane. When you are editing an embed, the parent note is still considered the active file. This is a technical limitation of how embedded editors work within the app.

Basic text editing, typing, and selection work perfectly.

Installation

Copy over main.js, manifest.json and styles.css from the latest release to your vault @ VaultFolder/.obsidian/plugins/sync-embeds/.
