Ever since I found out about Obsidian my life has changed so much, for the better. I am now able to actually make notes and review them. The more I learn about plug-ins, the more I feel comfy using it. Thanks a lot.
You are officially my favorite obsidian person! You have such a nice manner and easy to understand way of explaining things. thank you so much!
Thank you Nick! Your videos are extremely valuable and your passion for knowledge mangement is infectious.
You are fantastic at this. What a rare blend of skills for such a niche. Thank you for building community.
I appreciate that!
A most splendid of videos, amazing effort with the time-stamping, examples, and general easy going nature. 10 out of 10.
Wow, thanks!
Very helpful to see these plugins in action. Thanks!
You and this video are Amazing. Thank you so much for all your hard work all those years !
This is great! i am always in awe by this amazingly talented people creating super useful and great looking plug-ins for the community. Love it! having a blast setting up Obsidian haha
btw finding out that it is a pretty new app is pretty mindblowing to me. Yet another great video - thanks!
Couldn't agree more!
this was the best morning video ever, it helped me so much. You are so patient and kind in your explanations. thank you so much
This is a rich episode with really helpful insights, thanks Nick.
Glad to hear it Abdulla!
Thanks for showing Obsidian to me. That is so powerful, really love it.
Wow, thanks for sharing those. Super powerful stuff that really expands on the core Obsidian functionality. Awesome.
Excellent Nick!!! Thanks for creating this video..
Such a great video thank you Nick!
Excellent summary, thank you !
Thank you for the video. Very useful as always.
i can't believe i've been living without obsidian for this long -- excited to get started
Another fantastic video where I learn a lot in a very short time, thank you so much!
Really glad it helped you - thanks for sharing!
That's awesome! Thanks a lot, man.
So impressed with your channel! Enjoying learning. Thank you!!!!
Thank you for taking the time to share!
Beautiful video. Your presentation style is wonderful. Wishing you a lot of success
6:10 Thank you so much. I was searching this. No one, even official website didn't mention this keyboard shortcut.
very insightful. thank you for sharing :) this has enriched my obsidian experience greatly
You're so welcome!
Impressive explanation, Nick! I’m recommending your playlists to everyone I know haha
Excellent recommendations. Very useful. Thank you!
You're very welcome! See you in the workshop!
I was just thinking how cool it would be to have something like note refractor and lo and behold you post this video! Thanks Nick!
Serendipity!
great video - thank you!
This is so helpful!
So cool, thanks Nick.
Very helpful video, Nick :D I'm actually using the command palette now, thanks to you
Success! When in doubt, hit Command-P
Thanks a lot Nick 😌🙏
this video is a thing of beauty
Just installed a couple of the plugins you recommended, especially Better Word Count (useful for writing assignments where each section has a specific word count) and the theme, so ta for that.
Interesting that you have a Schopenhauer quote as he's the subject of my current University assignment, with relation to his Buddhist leanings! :-)
Another great video, thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
very informative... thanks brother
Thanks. it was great!
I was holding onto understanding obsidian as a core tool and never installed any third party plugins but today after feeling confident went ahead and incorporated calendar, advanced tables, note refactor, editor syntax highlight, copy button for code blocks for better workflow.
Nice to hear! Yes the plugins offer so much nice functionality!
@@linkingyourthinking I have my overall knowledge management system in place and feels like a good point to customising the css from scratch and creating my own theme. Your Cybertron and Reviere by Santi are my references. So thanks in advance.
Merci pour ta vidéo..... Très intéressant !
Thanks for this video... this was really useful!
I'm so glad!
THANKS YOU FOR SHARING THIS USEFUL EPISODE!!!
You're very welcome!
Watching your amazing video directly in Obsidian using !
I'm a "just born" user and some of these plugins will be very useful. Thanks.
Ward Cunningham is quite famous in the programming community. He has invented or made popular a few small things that most of us might have heard of such as the first wiki, agile software development (via extreme programming back in the day and the Agile Manifesto), many design patterns and paper-based designed tools such as CRC cards (before the advent of digital tools) and popularized many object-oriented programming due to his long association with Small Talk.
I knew he was a big deal, but didn't know the broader contributions. Thanks for sharing!
Great content, it’s going to be very helpful, thanks a lot! Just a small tip: adding a URL to selected text already has its predefined hotkey throughout macOS and it’s cmd+K. It works almost everywhere, a real timesaver!
28:22 Didnt feel like a long video at all! Thanks for all this information.
Great video and great plugins Thank you for this video.
You're very welcome!
Your video is a really great help to me. Though the plugin only does little things, but these little things are what I do repeatedly everyday and thus really saves me a lot of time.
Thanks for taking the time and effort to make this useful tutorial. I will recommend this to anyone who wants to be "a little quicker" in using Obsidian.
I just find out that Hotkeys++ plugin, Cmd+shift+M to toggle through bulleted list work only on single line. In video I can see it works on multiple lines. Is it no longer support multiple line operation or just me... Please help thanks.
Hi Nick! Thank you for this great video and all your amazing work! There's a little plugin I found recently which saves me a couple of seconds every time I make a new note, which when added up it's much more significant. It's called "Page heading from links", and what it does is insert a H1 heading from the filename, so I don't have to copy-paste every time. :)
Hey Marta, that's very cool, what's that one called?
thanks I was looking for this, as I move from Typora, which already has this feature although the other way: from headline to file name. but this is very handy
Excellent 👍thanks
Thank you too!
My man is the most wholesome dude on the site
Can you make an updated plugins video please? I'm really interested in seeing what you found useful since.
Thanks!
Very beautifully edited video, it has a feeling of peacefulness and calmness to it that really makes me feel at home while listening. Big fan, keep it up!
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much for this amazing presentation. I hope you just tell us how to make Headings as a toggle list; Hide/unhide what under a header.
sliding panes is life
Yess!!!
I want a browser with sliding panes 😬
@@Rupadarshi-Ray now thats something i could get behind
Honestly the best tutorials for obsidian out there. Thanks so much! Is there any way to use different community plugins on my phone than on my pc? Some of the plugins that work great on my computer don't work great on my phone so I wanted to use different plugins for each one.
Hi Christopher - you're not alone with this issue. Here's a an explanation on how to achieve this from the official Obsidian forums: forum.obsidian.md/t/plug-ins-on-different-platforms/25796
I hope it helps!
This guys got the same energy as Jack Herrington from Blue Collar Coder.. and I love it.
This is so helpful, thank you! As an aside: do you have both curtains and blinds in the same room?
lol, yep! Part of the multi-purpose setup in that room
What is that hot key? Jeez that is me 100% of the time! Love it!
How do you show vertical lines for indent like 4:35?
Very good video.
Thanks, Arturo!
At 27:32 how did you filter in graph view so that only the active note and its children are displayed? Great content!
How is you color scheme different? Like it's a different color for different headings? Could you please explain?
Soooo Cool Thx. What themes are you using ? 🙏🏻♥
No matter how good a dev is, and the obsidian devs are superb, they cannot anticipate all the use cases of their user base. That's where plugins come in. They allow creative individuals in the community to translate their workflow into tools that others can incorporate into their own.
Love your picks! I have my own favorites and this inspired me to share mine :)
Yeah, there are so many, can't wait to see what you use!
The Obsidian devs created a platform with some basic functionality, in that it’s sort of like Microsoft Excel and how extensible and flexible it can be for unplanned use-cases.
Yesterday I evaluated all (some dismissing based on descriptions from main browser) 794 plugins listed as of the time I post this, selected 44 for further consideration, as there are some overlaps.
Then again, some that may not do every last thing I want, I may derive from them and make my own functionality, using them for pre-existing code or just as n example of how to do things (having looked at the APIs, there is only so much that won’t be identical in code).
I’ve not mucked around with JavaScript in any meaningful way before now, but between my most-used Windows debugger being scripted with JavaScript, and now this, well…
Glad to see Emacs Orgmode tables are in Obsidian. Looks like almost a 1-on-1 mapping of it. I'll have to check it out.
I'm hearing that a lot lately. I know Emacs is a powerhouse and is out of my league, but it's good to know that something like Obsidian is slowly interesting power users
@@linkingyourthinking Emacs is one of those all in one tools (generally for programmers) that does everything for them. Sort of centralized command center. There is a very long history of plugins for it and orgmode (as well as literate programming and markdown) have been in it for many many years. You should add some Emacs concepts to your own Zettelkasten :P Maybe along with some VIM concepts and the entire Do One Thing and Do It Well concept that fits with the Single Concept in a Note philosophy.
Which theme are you using here? I like how the advanced table options are available in the header but the theme I am using creates them as a cluster of icons in a separate window...
damn son im in awe of your timestamps.
just an observation Ctrl + V works like a charm to insert a link in a word ou several, after the plugin is installed.
How are you creating the notion like toggles? >?
Thanks a lot. Is there also a way to recreate "wiki boards" (not sure how to call them) similar to what you can do in Notion? I mean having an overview with different columns, like health, spirituality, relationships, business etc and subtopics underneath each of those pillars that then lead to an overview of all notes in that particular subtopic.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Do you mean Kanban boards? There's a community plugin that can do it - here's some info on it: github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-kanban
Another great video by the Obsidian Sensei. If only you could put a checkbox in an advanced table, or am I missing something.
good vid
hello
I cant seem to get the Calendar plugin to show up when im in Daily Notes. Can you help?
Which software are you using for recording sir?
Using Obsidian on the Samsung Tab S7+. Sliding Panes works in only half the screen. I'm not sure if you have used this on a Tab but just in case if you have do let me know if you observe the same. Great video. Thank you very much.
Does anyone have CSS to make outlines that look like Nick's MOC outlines at 6:25?
I liked your hairstyle 😊
Awesome, thank you! Btw what theme are you using? I love the colors of the text, headings, etc.
It's my custom theme called Cybertron
@@linkingyourthinking thx mate!
Pretty cool! Working woth Obsidian for three days... awesome! Which plugin do I have to use to fold in/out the text in my notes (like the document list)? --> got it ! 😜😅
It's under settings > core plugins > fold heading and also fold indent
Disabling the safe mode is required only to install plugins, or for installing and using as well?
For both
Watching this video and hearing Nick Milo talk is like learning while meditating. Which accent is this btw? thanks.
Thank you. I don't know 🤷♂️
How did you get your #Calendar MOC set up the way it is in your LYT Kit? I assume you did not manually input all of that data? Any tools you could point a windows user to?
This would be huge for my work aspect of life as we work on a period to period / week to week system.
Haha, I did the majority manually, but there are better ways. I don't even use the Calendar MOC, it was just to show what's possible. Use the plugin by Liam called "Calendar"
Great intro to plugins! I will certainly try some of them. Thanks! You mentioned that it is possible to link to a header. Can you tell how to do that?
[[title# Ask the community for more: obsidian.md/community
@@linkingyourthinking So simple! Thanks! I could not find it on the Obsidian Help.
Thank for your Video, please can you give me "Mind Map your Setting" I cannot it print is too much small
How do you manage that your panes are sliding and minimizig to the right?
That's a plugin called Sliding Panes:
github.com/deathau/sliding-panes-obsidian
I am hoping someone can direct me to a "How to use plug-ins", for dummies apparently...I have successfully installed sliding panes and turned it on. However, the "instructions" I find are not very helpful. I cannot figure out how to actually use the feature. Can anyone give guidance or point me to a resource? Thanks in advance!
I'm excited to use plugins more on Obsidian, but I'm a little leery of the broad security hole this leaves in my system. Do you bother with this side of things or is community-verification of the plugins satisfactory for you? (loved these Obsidian videos btw!)
It’s good to be leery. Great question! I currently see community-verification as something I’m really confident in. At least as Obsidian’s community exists right now; I can’t speak for the future. People on there are the types of people who find security holes and report them. So I’m currently confident in the self-governing I see, but when in doubt, wait for more downloads by more intrepid users first.
@linking your thinking - thanks Nick! How do you slide through the panes without a mouse? I'm using a Mac.
The best secret weapon ever! Hold shift and scroll with the mouse scroll wheel!
@@linkingyourthinking - :cry: I'm only seeing them all side by side
@@andreaparado38 Oh sorry, you'll have to go to Settings > Community Plugins and then find and install "Sliding Panes"
Great resource, thanks Nick! Do you have a publicly-available resource that goes through your Daily Notes philosophy of use? I'm trying to streamline my process. Thanks!
Hey David, hope you're well. I don't have a strong Daily Notes philosophy (I use it as a catch-all and often use "Note Refactor" to split out sections as they grow into something that should stand on its own), but I do love having my three hotkeys set up to fly through them.
Open today's note, Open previous daily note, Open next daily note
@@linkingyourthinking Excellent, thank you for the response! Your hotkey system sounds like a great way to quickly interact with DNs. I'll have to incorporate it into my workflow now that I'm moving from Notion into Obsidian.
@@dgalloway If you're interested, here's a bit more about the hotkey choices I've made: forum.obsidian.md/t/obsidian-hotkeys-favorites-and-best-practices/12125
Having issues w/ the sliding panes plug in. I have it installed but the panes aren't sliding. FYI I'm also using your cyber theme.
Same. Have you find a solution ?
Hello, i don't seem to be able to use the URL plugin, when I press clt+u for plug in its says URL copy to clipboard only. Hope you will help me
The default command is ctrl/cmd + v. But you can customize your command in the Hotkeys settings. Also check the Community plugin settings if you’ve enabled the plugin already.
Can you tell me Why you Titlle is colorful ! It looks beautiful!
I love your voice
You mentioned that you stay away from Anki. Is it because you prefer analog cards or to do you see other problems with Anki?
If you are learning a language or medical terms, Anki is hard to beat. However, Anki has shortcoming with learning in other domains of life because it is rote learning without context.
@@linkingyourthinking Thank you for taking the time to reply! I wasn't thinking about it this way but flashcards are somewhat the opposite of what you want to accomplish with Obsidian.
So you're learning more complex topics with notes in Obsidian and trying to recall core ideas and connections?
Hi, how can i reorder Folders?, when i click on "change order", it only change the order of NOTES, but, not for FOLDERS
Adding emojis or numbers to your folder name is a common way to bring preferred order to your folder structure.
