Text Formatting Toolbar

Text Formatting Toolbar

A floating formatting toolbar that appears above selected text in the Obsidian editor.

Features

When you select text in a note, a toolbar appears with one-click access to common formatting actions:

• Text Style — set heading level (H1–H6) or paragraph
• Bold, Italic, Strikethrough
• Highlight — a plain ==highlight== toggle; on Obsidian 1.14+ this becomes a color menu (yellow, red, orange, green, blue, purple) using the ==🔴color-emoji== syntax
• Link — wrap selection in a Markdown link
• Wikilink - wrap selection in brackets
• Inline Code / Code Block
• Comment — wrap in Obsidian comment syntax (%% ... %%)
• Lists — bullet list, numbered list, or checkbox
• Blockquote
• Copy / Cut

Installation

1. Open Obsidian Settings → Community Plugins
2. Search for Text Formatting Toolbar
3. Install and enable the plugin

Settings

You can show or hide individual toolbar buttons under Settings → Text Formatting Toolbar.

Permissions

Clipboard access — the Copy and Cut buttons write your currently selected editor text to the system clipboard. The plugin never reads from the clipboard and never accesses content copied from outside Obsidian.
