F2 Quick Rename

中文说明

Obsidian plugin for fast renaming: the current note, embeds under the cursor, and frontmatter properties in one panel.

demo

Features

Rename

  • F2 — rename the current file, or the embed / link under the cursor
  • Cursor on a heading — uses Obsidian’s built-in Rename heading
  • Wiki embeds (![[file|alias]]) and markdown images (![alias](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pandanocturne/obsidian-f2-quick-rename/HEAD/file.png)) — rename the target and edit the alias
  • External URLs — edit link URL and display title
  • Excalidraw — edit the stem without .excalidraw / .excalidraw.md, restore on save
  • Companion files (same folder, same basename, different extension) can be renamed together
  • Optional: copy the new basename to the clipboard after renaming the active note
  • File explorer context menu: F2 Quick rename
  • Optional: double-click the extension suffix in the panel to edit it (off by default)

Properties (F2 / F5)

  • F2 — show only properties configured in settings; you can add more for this session; the next open shows the configured set again (merge write; other frontmatter keys are kept)
  • F5 — full frontmatter panel (add / edit / delete / reorder / change type); replaces the whole frontmatter block
  • Types aligned with Obsidian: text, list, number, checkbox, date, date & time
  • List chips, vault suggestions, multiline text, drag reorder (grip only)
  • Optional auto-save while the panel is open
  • Optional Collapse by default for the properties section (F5 still opens expanded)

Header tools

  • Show in folder — app.showInFolder (desktop)
  • Copy wikilink — shortest [[wikilink]]
  • Header icon switches by file kind: note, Canvas, Excalidraw, Bases, attachment, link

Language

Settings → General → Language:

  • System default (follows Obsidian)
  • 简体中文
  • English
