Doesn't work with the new Obsidian editor

Open gnatyuk616 opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

I'm using Obsidian v0.13.8. Text expander stopped working, the Tab command just indent the {{trigger}} without actual substitution. When I switched to the Legacy Editor at the Editor section, everything starts working again.

The plugin relies on CM5 (considered legacy since v13.0.0) and its failure is expected when used with CM6. Unfortunately, I have no plans to upgrade the plugin to CM6 in its current condition. I thought about dropping shell support in favor of JS-defined scripts to support mobile devices. Since this change requires full refactoring, it could be the right point to move to CM6, but I cannot give any timeline right now.

Use ChatGPT to port aka. refactor the code @konodyuk to save time.

IMHO, I think refactoring the plugin to use JS would not be such a good approach. If you know how to use JS you could probably achive similar results with different way (for example having JS scripts inside obsidian). I think one of the very good point of this plugin is the possibility to use directly BASH as a backend.
