media-extended Move the cursor to the end of Timestamp after creation

Move the cursor to the end of Timestamp after creation

Open Archie-2021 opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

Right now the cursor stay at its position and the timestamp put in front of it, which is inconvenient because the note is supposed to be added in front of timestamp. I am not sure it is because of the new editor or what just thought it can be helpful to be reported.

thanks

This is a great plugin for Obsidian, I really hope it will soon keep being improved ;)

yeah, I am heavily using it and depending on it. just some minor modifications like these and some additional hot keys and it is going to be perfect.

I found a temporary solution for this issue.

Download the fixed main.js , OR follow the steps below if you prefer to compiling the plugin by yourself.

Comment out https://github.com/aidenlx/media-extended/blob/main/src/misc.ts#L48
Compile the plugin by running following command. The compiled files will be in 'build' folder.
  npm install
  npm run build

Copy the main.js file to overwriteyour_valut/.obsidian/plugins/media-extended/main.js. (You could open the plugin folder in Obsidian's Settings->Community plugins->Installed plugins , then click the folder icon Open plugins folder)
Restart Obsidian.

Another workaround would be enabling Use legacy editor. However, this option is not compatible to several popular plugins.

Hope it helps.

Not completely sure if I understand your need with the cursor, but I use templater plugin to automatically set where I want to set the cursor. I use the combination of hotkeys CTRL+T to create the timestamp and CTRL+R to "activate" the template, and the cursor is ready to write on the right of the timestamp. Like this:

[03:56](LINK/TO/YOUTUBE/WITH/TIMESTAMP) YOUR/CURSOR/IS/HERE

You can define where you want the cursor to be or other things if you define it in the template. For my usage, copy this in the Timestamp template section of the media extended options

{{TIMESTAMP}} <% tp.file.cursor(0) %>
