[Feature Request] New Command -> Cycle Through Hover Notes

Open FelipeRearden opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Hello @nothingislost !!!!!

I have been using Hover Editor a lot and as far as I use this amazing plugin on my daily workflows I realize that we need a new command.

My FR: It's a command to navigate between Hover Notes that are open in the workspace.

  • Cycle Through Panes plugin applied to Hover Notes !!!

Two global user cases

1- When You have more than one Hover Note open (1 open and 4 minimized) and you want to navigate between than to minimize the 1 that is open and restore one of the 4 that are minimized

2- A quick way to just make the Hover note the note that is active in the workspace when you have a lot of notes open.

  • I am aware that the Cycle Through Panes is considering Hover Notes while we are navigating between notes. But if you have 5/6 notes open, it's difficult tp go to the hover note.

My Specific Workflow

I always have at least two Hover Notes always open in my workspace:

A. My QuickNotes Hover Note

B. Hover Note specific to the workflow that I'm doing

-> For example, if I'm working in a Podcast Note, I have a Hover Note that has the URL audio of Podcast. This way I can listen while working on that note.

I really need a way to quickly navigate between these hover notes to restore/minimize based on my need


Thanks for reading this !!!!! I hope you like my suggestion 🙏 🙏 🙏

Let me know if you need more information !!!

Have a great day 🌞

If you use the Pane Relief plugin, you can use Alt-9 to jump to the last pane in the workspace, which will always be the most-recently opened hover pane. If you have 9 or fewer total panes open, you can also use Alt-8 to go to the eighth, Alt-7 to go to the seventh, and so on.

Thank you very much for your comment @pjeby !

I saw your message and went direct to the computer to replicate the workflow described in your comment.

This FR has two points that makes a little bit different form what we can achieve using the spectacular Pane Relief

Point 1: Navigation between only all Hover Notes

For example: I have this structure in my workspace:

  • 03 notes open in the workspace (which one of the 3 is the active note)
  • 02 Hover Notes open (which one of the 2 is minimized)

This FR is about a new command that let me navigate/jump only between these two hover notes and the criteria is to start from the last active hover note.

  • A single command (hotkey) to jump between all hover notes instead of one command for each open hover note.

Following my example: these new command will jump from to active note to the last hover note

  • If I hit the hotkey one more time, it will make the other hover note active and keep it minimized !!!

Point 2: Support for Mobile

Hover Editor is available on Desktop and Mobile.

For users that uses Obsidian on iPad with a mouse and a keyboard, would be great to have a way replicate the same workflow that you have on Desktop in a Mobile device like an iPad or any Tablet.


Thanks again for your suggestion about Pane Relief :)
