Micropatches

A small Obsidian plugin with targeted fixes and quality of life tweaks.

Patches

1. Cursor repeat throttle Holding an arrow key could snowball into a multi second freeze. This coalesces held-key repeats into one CodeMirror update per animation frame instead of one per repeat event, and steps aside for suggester popups, vim mode and IME composition.

2. Scroll offset Keeps a minimum distance between the cursor and the top or bottom edge of the editor. Percentage or fixed pixels, both configurable.

3. Hide traffic lights, macOS only Moves the native window buttons off screen and removes the reserved tab bar space, for every open window.

4. Bases auto search Opens the search bar the first time a Bases view is shown.

5. Instant UI, off by default Collapses animation and transition durations to near zero across the UI, while keeping completion events and fill mode intact so nothing gets stuck invisible. Spinners and other continuous indicators are exempted.

Each patch can be switched on or off separately in Settings, no reload needed.
