The Sonkil plugin introduces Emacs inspired text editing capabilities, making precise text manipulation faster and more fluid. It brings a powerful kill ring that stores up to 120 entries, enabling users to cut, copy, and paste with context-aware memory. Clipboard sync ensures anything cut or copied is instantly available system wide, while multicursor support lets you cut or paste text across several positions at once. The visual mark selection highlights text regions for better focus, and a subtle status bar indicator keeps you aware of current operations. Its flexibility lies in user defined hotkeys, allowing you to map familiar Emacs commands or create your own workflow.

The Advanced Cursors plugin enhances Obsidian's text editing capabilities with advanced cursor manipulation features. It allows users to move, copy, and select text instances using multi-cursor commands similar to popular code editors like VS Code. Users can move to or select the next or previous occurrence of a selected word, copy lines up or down, and insert incrementing values at each cursor position. The plugin also includes a powerful regex-based search feature to place cursors at specific locations within the text. Additionally, users can save custom search queries for easy reuse. These features streamline text navigation, editing, and formatting, making it ideal for those who frequently work with large notes, technical writing, or code-like documents in Obsidian.
