Move Cursor On Startup

Description
Category: Customization & UI

The move-cursor-on-startup plugin automatically nudges the text cursor to the right and back to the left when the app launches. This small action addresses a known issue where DataView queries or expressions embedded in the first opened note sometimes fail to render properly on initial load. By forcing a tiny cursor movement, the plugin effectively refreshes the note's state so that dynamic content like DataView blocks display as intended without manual intervention.

Changelog

This release will move the cursor briefly right and left in the first-opened ".md" file, which will help "activate" dataview code that typically will just sit there as a string until user interaction.
