Pick feelings and needs to put into an Obsidian note. It adds two commands: Insert feelings… and Insert needs…
Open a category and mark every word in it at once — or ask to be walked through it a word at a time, with a definition for each, which is how you find the words you would never have picked off a list.
What lands at the cursor is ordinary markdown, so the note still reads with the plugin turned off:
- Angry: incensed, indignant, outraged
- Peaceful: calm, content
With the plugin on, that block can be redrawn as a list, a table, or one comma-separated line, reopened in the picker to change what it holds, or handed back to plain markdown for good.
Install
From inside Obsidian: Settings → Community plugins → Browse, search for NVC or Nonviolent Communication, then Install and Enable.
Attribution
The feelings and needs word lists come from the Center for Nonviolent Communication's Feelings and Needs Inventory, © 2023 Center for Nonviolent Communication, cnvc.org. CNVC gives permission to copy and share it and asks to be credited; the plugin carries that credit under the categories in both pickers, and anything else built from this code inherits the same obligation.
The definitions attached to each word are not from CNVC. They were written for this project.
License
MIT, for this project's own code.
That covers the code only. The CNVC word lists keep their own terms, described under Attribution above — the MIT license does not relicense them.
Building it
See CONTRIBUTING.md for running the plugin from source, the component gallery it is built from, and how releases are cut.
