Obsidian Custom Note Width

A plugin for Obsidian that enables you to easily adjust the editor's line width on a note-by-note basis. All these following options ensure that users have a tailored experience, making line width adjustments both efficient and user-friendly. To make this task more intuitive and adaptable to your preferences, the plugin offers several methods:

• Employ a straightforward slider or textbox situated in the status bar for quick and visual adjustments.
• For users who prefer to work with YAML front matter there is an option to set a custom width through YAML, allowing you to maintain specific formatting or structures in your notes.
• Integrated commands have been added, which can be executed directly within the Obsidian interface. This is especially handy for users who prefer quick actions or are accustomed to using keyboard shortcuts, offering a seamless way to modify the line width without diving into settings or codes.

Features

• Customize line width for individual notes(or all notes) using a convenient slider in the status bar.
• Easily increase or decrease line width to tailor your editing experience.
• User-friendly interface for intuitive usage.
• Fully customizable through settings for personalized adjustments.

Usage

Once you enable the plugin in the settings menu, a slider will appear in the bottom right status bar. With this plugin, you can easily make real-time adjustments to the width of notes using either the slider or the textfield, ensuring a smooth and seamless editing experience.
