An Obsidian plugin that automatically switches between Reading View, Source Mode, and Live Preview when you open a note -- based on a frontmatter key.

Features

  • Set a per-note view mode using frontmatter
  • Configurable frontmatter key name (default: auto-view-mode)
  • Supports all three Obsidian view modes: Reading View, Source Mode, and Live Preview
  • Lightweight with no external dependencies

Installation

Obsidian Community Plugin

This plugin is available in the official Obsidian community plugin directory. Install it from Settings > Community plugins > Browse and search for "Auto View Mode" or "Auto View Mode by saltyfireball".

Community plugin page: https://community.obsidian.md/plugins/auto-view-mode

Usage

Add the frontmatter key to any note to control which view mode it opens in:

---
auto-view-mode: preview
---

Accepted Values

Value View Mode
preview or reading Reading View
source Source Mode
edit or live Live Preview

Custom Frontmatter Key

By default the plugin reads from the auto-view-mode frontmatter key. You can change this to any name you like in the plugin settings:

  1. Go to Settings > Auto View Mode
  2. Change the Frontmatter key field to your preferred key name

For example, if you set it to view, your frontmatter would look like:

---
view: source
---
