Editing Toolbar

Editing Toolbar adds a customizable WYSIWYG toolbar to Obsidian for users who prefer visual formatting controls over memorizing markdown syntax or hotkeys.

Click the “toggle editing toolbar” button (added with UI Tweaker) on the title bar to show or hide it. It’s hidden until revealed and completely disabled on mobile by default.

  • Multiple toolbar positions: top bar, cursor-following, or fixed bottom grid.
  • Toolbar styles: glass (blurred), default, tiny, or custom.
  • Format painter to copy formatting from one selection and apply to others.
  • Text tools submenu for advanced operations like deduplicating lines, adding prefixes, and converting between lists and tables.
  • Fully customizable — drag-and-drop to reorder items, add custom commands, or create submenus.
