It's broken when I use [search note] as a keyboard shortcut.

Hey there.

I don't code and don't know if this is even possible, but...

If it is, then this would be amazing.

Imagine how cool being able to edit obsidian notes from inside Raycast would be!

I would pay for this. I've been dreaming about pop-up notes inside spotlight for years.

Thanks!

Rob.

P.S. Probably should of said this first: your extension is amazing. Thanks so much for making it.

Proposed Addition

• use keys from the YAML frontmatter to enhance searches (fuzzy search)
• Related Issue: #1

Questions

• should keys be read automatically or should there be a predefined list of keys that will be used for searching (e.g. title, subtitle, etc.)?
• should keys be saved in the Note object?

Steps

• function for reading YAML frontmatter keys already exists yamlPropertyForString(content, "title")
• ...

It would be great if I could use enter instead of cmd + enter to open the note in Obsidian, as I'd never want to open it in Raycast. The Snippets extension seems to do this with 'primary action'

Create new blank note and open for editing.

Perhaps we can have a feature to search note content?
It could show a list of files matched with the query.

Actually, there are some integrations implemented with Alfred(another similar application like Raycast) here.
https://github.com/chrisgrieser/shimmering-obsidian#feature-overview
If you need ideas, this will help.

It would be useful to have a toggle or an alternate shortcut for not going to a note after appending. I'm interested in using "Append to Daily Note" to throw random thoughts in my daily note without interrupting the flow, and not moving focus would help a lot with that.

Suggested Addition

New command Search by Tag. Showing a list of all tags. Selecting one will show all notes tagged with it.

To-Dos

• search tags in all notes (maybe performance issues?)

To Do

• add steps to reproduce

It looks like the plugin ignores .canvas files in the search.

Hey, I could assist with the development, but I see there is a month-old PR. Would you happen to accept outside collaborators?

Create new note by entering a title then whatever text should be in the body. Without opening Obsidian.

The Raycast List.Item allows for a string[] of keywords that are indexed for searching, which would allow for tags to be fuzzily-searchable in the Search Note command in addition to note titles.

https://developers.raycast.com/api-reference/user-interface/list#props-5

I'm currently aware of two different approaches for Obsidian tagging: in YAML front matter or else in the body with # hashtags, which might complicate this feature.

https://help.obsidian.md/How+to/Working+with+tags

Proposed Changes

• unify "Excluded Folders"
• unify "Search Content"
• unify "Template for Append Action" and "Template for Append Selected Text Action"
• unify "Remove Content" options

These preferences should be left independent:

• show detail
• show metadata
• primary action

Use Case

• Users won't have to fill in the preferences for each command (gets worse when more commands will be added).
• Makes preferences more "visible"

It would be great if I can search headings in notes by prefixing the keyword with # char. for example:

1. keyword #introduction to search introduction in headings of all notes.
2. keyword markdown#introduction to search introduction heading in note with markdown in the title.

when use opening the searched note, heading parameter in https://vinzent03.github.io/obsidian-advanced-uri/actions/navigation can be used to open the note and navigate to the target heading.

I have only two vaults. Both vaults are configured with the Daily Notes plugin and I also have the Advanced URI plugin installed. For some reason, the extension is telling me that the Daily Note plugin is not installed in one of my vaults when I invoke the Daily Note command.

Any clues?

Thanks again for developing such good extension.
I want to ask is it possible to add support for preview of formula ($ $, $$ $$) in the future?

Hello!
This extension looks absolutely incredible! Have you considered porting it to the Flow-launcher app on Windows? There's already an Obsidian extension for it, but it doesn't provide nearly as much as what you offer here.

Search Note works great when I use Quick Look as my primary action. When I change that to Open in Obsidian, search still works, but opening the selected item takes me to Obsidian and displays an error message:

Vault not found
Unable to find a vault for the URL obsidian://open?path=%2Fusers%2Fmyusername%2FObsidian%2FVault%20Name%2Ftest%20file.md

Hi, I have a problem where every time I create a new note with the create note extension,n it would always say that the file that I just created doesn't exist even though when I made the note, the note was created & Obisidan was launched. But for some reason, it would never open.

Thanks for this plugin. Just started using it -- and apologies if I'm missing something obvious. But is there a way to configure Obsidian note search to work as a fallback command in Raycast so that it would be available (along with Google search, etc.) to use on any text that is typed directly into the search bar?

Love this extension. I got it running on my machine.

It would be amazing to use the 'title' frontmatter if it exists over the filename. Thoughts?

See raycast/extensions#3030 for more discussions on this topic.

Feature idea:

There are two 'quick capture' problems I'm trying to solve - quick capture a note and quick capture a task.

It would be amazing if it were possible to either specify two templates, or if I could set up a second quick capture command somehow.

Do you have any thoughts or guidance?

Thank you

A new action that works similarly to the "Copy Code Action" by showing a list of all headings in a note.
Selecting one of the headings will open the note right at that heading using the Advanced URI plugin.

This will be helpful when searching for specific parts of a long note.

Similar to #37.

Proposed Addition

• An action View Mentioning Notes that will show a list of notes mentioning the current note/media.
• Should work in "Search Note", "Search Media", "Pinned Notes" and "Random Note" command

To-Do

• Test search, can or should content/fuzzy search be used in the new list
• Maybe implement Tag Dropdown Filter just like in "Search Note" command

See 9a19385 for first progress.

Hi @marcjulianschwarz

Thanks for this awesome project!

There are two problems I am facing with this extension when I want to create a new note:

1. I have to set suggested tags in Raycast preference so I can add the tag for my new note. Is this the intended behaviour? I hope I can add any tag when I create a new note without setting anything before.

2. As stated above, when I use the tag I had set in Raycast preference, the tag format in my new note is like this:

Untitle
---
tags: ["js", "others"]
---

But I hope it can be like:

Untitle
#js #others

Steps to reproduce

1. Write inline tag on first line of note (e.g. #todo)
2. Open Raycast Search and use the dropdown cmd + p to search for tags
3. Tag #todo won't appear if there is no other file with that tag
4. OR when selecting tag, note will not show up in the filtered list

What could be a fix?

• Maybe the regex for inline tags is not working correctly

Love the Append to Daily Note plugin. It would be nice if this also supported the extended features from Periodic Notes plugin, at very least appending to Weekly/Monthly/Yearly Notes. This would really make Raycast a killer app for quick note taking...

Hey, trying this (and Raycast) out now, looks great! One limitation of this, is that you can only use one vault. However, I use multiple! Is there any chance this will support multiple vaults?

Since a while Obsidian also supports plain tags like tags: running, health in frontmatter instead of tags : ["running", "health"].

Would it be possible to add an option to choose the formatting?

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong but I can't get search to work.

But every time I try to search, I get "The path set in preferences doesn't exist Please set a valid path in preferences".

I've checked 10 different times and I've tried the root of a Vault, the parent directory of the Vaults, dereferenced all the symbolic links. Nothing works.

Silent mode isn't working for me for the Append to Daily Note command. I have it checked on in the configuration, but it still opens the note every time.

I would love to use this extension with the Notational Velocity-style combined search/create action.

That is, results filter as you search, but at any time if you're not seeing the results you want, you can create a note with the contents of your search.

In terms of how this would work in Raycast, I would think just adding a cmd-K action for "Create new note…" in the search context, and then maybe when you search and have no results, you get a "create note" result so you can just hit return.

Hello, thanks for building this! Unfortunately, every time I attempt to search my vault, I can see a list of my notes for a split second, then I get an error. Message copied below. Thanks for any help!

Having difficulty using Obsidian extension with Vault on iCloud drive. Installed Obsidian via IOS and MACOS according to Obsidian instructions to use iCloud as sync mechanism. Obsidian works properly on both platforms, changes made via either sync properly to the other.

First time running Obsidian extension, no matter how I format the path to Vault, the "Something went wrong" error pops up. Have tried formatting the path to the iCloud Vault in various ways ( /Users/xxx/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloudmdobsidian/ ), etc.

Not sure if it's a formatting problem on my part or an issue accessing iCloud vaults

Hello,

Thanks a lot for building this extension.

But I'm noticing a weird behaviour (I don't know if I have to change anything from my side).

When I search for a note, it takes a very long time to show up. Sometimes it keeps loading without showing anything.

Hello!

Love this - thanks so much for creating and publishing your Raycast commands.

I saw in the tooltip the variable {content} which I've tried to use in my append template as I want the content to be wrapped by square brackets:
* <small>**[{hour}:{minute}]**</small>[💭 Thought:: {content}]

When I capture a note it's capturing like this:

Essentially the variable isn't being replaced and the contents are instead being appended to the end, rather than being wrapped in the square bracket.

Mike

Is it possible to point the prefs to a directory that contains multiple vaults ?

Assume that every directory underneath the one specified is an individual vault ?

Thanks

To Do

• should this be yet another command that can only be used together with the Advanced URI plugin or rather restructure the existing daily note command to add actions?
  • reduce number of commands that not every user can use
  • adds possibility for more daily note actions
  • Con: adds one extra step to interact with daily notes

Feature Request from @carlosflorencio on Raycast Slack.

Hi, thanks for this amazing extension! I downloaded Raycast just for your extension 🤣

I wonder if I can use some basic templates, like {{time}}, in the default note name, prefix for append, etc.? The use case is that I use this extension to quick capture things that I don't want to spend time naming them, yet I still want to log the time.

Add command that allows to directly append content to a note (from selection).

Similar to Lazy.

Preferences:

• Append template
• Default Note (if not specified user will be able to select from all notes)

Should support:

• text
• url
• image
• files? (local file link)

Hey!

'Silent mode' doesn't seem to be working for me when using "Append to Daily Note". Even if I shut Obsidian down completely it still opens the application and note.

A bug perhaps?

Using advanced URI makes tons of sense, but it feels like we're missing a lot of its power! It would be great to be able to configure custom URI commands.

For example, if I use Periodic Notes for my daily notes instead of the core daily notes plugin, it would be nice to be able to call the proper command from raycast.

I don't think that adding support for every single command/plugin is particularly sustainable, but allowing custom commands might be. 😄

Requirement

• User can append new content in an existing note.

Scenario

I know there is a todo list in my vault like this

# Todos
- [ ] take out the trash

When I'm working on something and an idea pops into my mind. I have to wash the dish for my Mom. So I want to add a checkbox in the above note like - [ ] wash the dish and no need to interrupt current work (switch to Obsidian...etc)

Obsidian creates a json file that has the location of every vault that has been opened with Obsidian, with the following content:

{
  "vaults": {
    "531c5e4cb86fe7f1": {
      "path": "/Users/<user>/Development/cuddlecake/Notes",
      "ts": 1634469919450,
      "open": true
    }
  }
}

With path being the interesting part, of course.

On my machine, that file is located in:

/Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json

And I believe it could be leveraged at the very least for configuration, or serve as the standard source for vault locations:

function loadVaults(): Promise<Vault[]> {
  return readFile(path.resolve(`${homedir()}/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json`), "utf8").then(
    (data) => {
      const parsed = JSON.parse(data);
      return Object.values(parsed.vaults);
    }
  );
}

I am not 100% sure whether this file exists on every system in the same location, but it could also be a best-effort thing that could be ignored if the file is not found.

At least this is the way I implemented it in my personal extension, and I do recognize that most people do not "spam vaults" like I do 😄 But if you're interested, this could at least make onboarding for this extension a bit smoother, and for my use case, a setting to track vaults using this file would be great.

If you give me the go ahead and a quick outline of what you'd like to see, I could also try to implement this.

Can you show the command palette with all its commands within raycast ?

Would be great to have a command to create a new note in Inbox that uses the template assigned to new notes in Inbox via the templater plugin (eg I have a template for any new note in Inbox that creates a prefix for the filename with today's date in almost-Zettel format). Thx for this plugin!
