When an inline card sits on the note's last line, the space beneath it
belonged to no line at all — clicks there did nothing, leaving no way to
keep writing in the parent. Clicking that dead zone now appends a fresh
line after the link line and places the cursor there. Gated to exactly
that case (imprecise hit, below end-of-doc, open inline on the last
line), so click-below-content behavior in ordinary notes is untouched.
The idle reading view (MarkdownRenderer) rendered with different
spacing than the live-preview editor shown on first expand, so cards
visibly changed rhythm after blur or when another inline opened.
Instead of chasing reading-view CSS, drop the rendered view entirely:
the native embedded editor stays mounted when focus leaves (without
stealing focus on idle mounts), so the card always renders exactly
like the note does in its own pane. Blur still saves and still
reclaims untouched empty notes.
The title repeated what the link above the card already says — removed.
The rendered (idle) view gave every paragraph full note-page margins,
which read as huge gaps inside a compact card; paragraph, list, and
heading margins are tightened to editor-like rhythm, with first/last
element margins stripped.
Drop the notices for reclaimed empty notes and for collapse-all finding
nothing — both fire in normal flows and got noisy. Real errors (create
failed, drop failed) still notify.
The file-plus icon on links without a note is no longer hover-only: it
shows dimmed at all times and brightens on hover, so the affordance is
always discoverable and line layouts don't depend on hover state.
- The expand/collapse chevron is now a small round button (accent icon
on a circular background) instead of a bare glyph.
- Inline bodies always show the note's title at the top; clicking it
opens the note in a tab (Cmd/Ctrl+click for a new tab). Scroll for
long notes moves to the content area so the title stays visible.
- Card style gets rounder corners (10px), a hairline border, and a
subtler two-layer shadow; it's now the default nesting style.
- Killed the leftover vertical line: the embed factory can stamp
markdown-embed classes on the container itself, which the previous
selectors missed.
- Inline notes now default to collapsed everywhere — nothing auto-opens
when a page loads.
Shift+Tab closes every open inline note in the focused editor and only
consumes the keystroke when at least one is open, so list outdenting
keeps working otherwise. Also exposed as 'Collapse all inline notes' in
the command palette (hotkey-assignable). Reclaims still-empty notes the
plugin created, same as single-collapse.
Long notes (over 200 chars) now open fully inside a 320px max-height
scrollable body instead of a truncated click-to-expand preview, so the
whole note is reachable without extra interaction. The open/close cycle
is back to a simple toggle.
Obsidian's embedded editors carry their own embed accent bar, which
stacked with the body's vertical accent line — the embed's is removed.
Editing mode now mounts a real Obsidian markdown editor through
app.embedRegistry (the mechanism Canvas uses for its note cards) instead
of a bare CodeMirror instance: live preview formatting (bold, italics,
checkboxes, tables), native editor commands and hotkeys, Obsidian's own
link suggester (rendered at document level, so no more clipping), and
native drag & drop.
The previous bare-CodeMirror editor remains as an automatic fallback if
the embed API is unavailable or fails. Cycle/depth guards now walk the
DOM (inline-note-flow ancestry) since CM state can't carry ancestry
across native embedded editors. Focus moving into suggestion popups,
menus, or modals no longer counts as leaving the body.
An accidental click (or Tab) on an unresolved link creates a real note;
if that note is still empty when its inline body closes — collapsed via
toggle, or focus leaves the body without anything typed — the plugin now
moves it to trash and collapses the link back to its 'create' state. The
same applies when all body text is deleted before closing.
Scope is strict: only notes created by this plugin in the current session
are ever reclaimed, deletion goes through the user's trash preference
(never permanent), and a notice reports each removal. The collapse-path
reclaim waits 600ms so the closing editor's save always lands first.
Typing [[ in an inline editor now pops a file suggester (all vault files,
fuzzy-filtered as you type; Enter accepts and closes the brackets), so
links can be browsed without leaving the body.
Files can be dropped into inline notes: drags from Obsidian's file
explorer insert a link (embed form for non-markdown files) at the drop
point in edit mode, or append to the note in rendered mode; OS file drops
are imported as vault attachments first, honoring the attachment folder
setting.
Links resolving to PDFs, images, or any non-md file are no longer treated
as inline notes — no toggle button, no inline body, and no more reading
binary data as text. Unresolved links whose name carries a non-md file
extension are excluded from the create button too.
Idle inline note bodies now render through MarkdownRenderer (real reading
view: headings, formatting, working image/PDF/note embeds). Clicking the
rendered body switches to the source editor; when focus leaves the body it
saves and renders again. Internal links in the rendered view navigate like
native links, Cmd/Ctrl+click for a new tab.
![[embeds]] inside nested editors (PDFs, images, note embeds) now render
through Obsidian's MarkdownRenderer instead of being decorated as raw
wikilink text; raw text returns while the cursor touches the embed.
Embeds are excluded from link toggle buttons.
Notes longer than 200 characters open as a truncated read-only preview;
Tab (or clicking the preview) expands to the full editor. The cycle is
now closed -> preview -> full -> closed for long notes, closed <-> editor
for short ones.
Obsidian 1.4.5 only partially supports the text-decoration-line/-color
longhands — switch to the shorthand. Replace the !important on the nested
editor's selection background with a higher-specificity selector that
out-ranks CodeMirror's built-in focused-selection rule. No visual change.
Expand any [[wikilink]] into an editable note body inline, without leaving
the page. Inline notes are real Markdown files, so backlinks and graph view
work normally. Keyboard-first (Tab after ]] to cycle), recursive nesting,
and three nesting styles.
