Slash Inserter

A Notion-style slash menu for Obsidian. Press / at the start of a line (or after a space) and pick a block from the list — headings, lists, callouts, code blocks, math, mermaid diagrams, internal links, video embeds, and rich link preview cards.

Features

Type / then start typing the command name or alias. Press Enter (or click) to insert.

Command Aliases Result
/h1 /h2 /h3 /# /## /### Headings
/bullet /ul /list - item
/num /ol /number 1. item
/todo /task /check - [ ] task
/quote /blockquote > quote
/callout /admonition /note > [!note] callout
/code /codeblock Fenced code block
/div /divider /hr ---
/table /tbl 2×3 markdown table
/math /latex $$ … $$ block
/mermaid /diagram /flowchart Mermaid diagram block
/link /wikilink [[ ]] internal link
/embed /transclude ![[ ]] transclusion
/video /youtube /vimeo /mp4 ![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jimmy-web169/obsidian-slash-commands/HEAD/URL) video embed
/iframe /frame <iframe> for any embeddable URL
/bookmark /book /url [title](url) external link
/card /cardlink /preview Rich preview card with thumbnail, title, description

Link cards

/card opens a small prompt, you paste a URL, and the plugin fetches OpenGraph metadata (title, description, og:image, site name) and inserts a clean preview card. The source is a cardlink code block that renders as a styled card in Live Preview and Reading mode — clicking the card opens the URL.

url: "https://example.com/article"
title: "Article title"
description: "Two-line description from og:description..."
image: "https://example.com/cover.jpg"
site_name: "example.com"

If a site blocks the request or has no OpenGraph metadata, the plugin falls back to inserting a plain markdown link and shows a notice.

Video embeds

/video works with YouTube, Vimeo, and direct .mp4 URLs — Obsidian natively renders these as embedded players inside ![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jimmy-web169/obsidian-slash-commands/HEAD/URL).

Manual install

  1. Download main.js, manifest.json, styles.css from the latest release
  2. Place them in <your-vault>/.obsidian/plugins/slash-commands/
  3. Reload Obsidian → Settings → Community plugins → enable Slash Inserter

BRAT (beta)

Trigger rules

  • / only triggers the menu when it's at the start of a line or after a whitespace — so a / in the middle of a word (e.g., and/or) won't pop the menu.
  • Esc closes the menu.
  • Type any part of the command name or alias to filter.

Development

git clone https://github.com/Jimmy-web169/obsidian-slash-commands
cd obsidian-slash-commands
npm install
npm run dev        # watch mode
npm run build      # production

Copy / symlink the folder to <your-vault>/.obsidian/plugins/slash-commands/ and reload the plugin in Obsidian's settings.
