The Heading Shifter plugin is designed to streamline the process of managing markdown headings in Obsidian. It allows users to easily shift the heading levels (from Heading 1 to Heading 6) for selected text, either increasing or decreasing the levels in batch. The plugin also supports inserting new headings, either at the current level or adjusted by one level up or down. It includes additional features like customizing how headings are applied, with the ability to remove specific styles such as bullet points or bold text. This plugin simplifies organizing and structuring notes, making it ideal for users working with large documents or those frequently rearranging content.
