The Force Read Mode plugin allows users to enforce read-only mode for markdown files within specified folders in Obsidian. This ensures that files from these folders are always opened in read (preview) mode, preventing accidental edits. Users can configure multiple folder paths where this behavior is applied. The plugin is ideal for those who want to protect specific notes or folders from unintended changes or maintain a consistent read-only experience. Its simple settings interface makes it easy to specify folder paths where read mode should be enforced, offering greater control over file access and editing within Obsidian.

The Better Canvas Lock plugin allows you to lock the view of your Obsidian canvas, disabling features like zooming, selecting, dragging and dropping, and scrolling. This can be particularly useful when working on complex notes or presentations where unwanted interactions might disrupt your workflow. The plugin also includes a log feature for debugging purposes, although be warned that it may produce some redundant error messages in the console. Additionally, you can still enable limited interaction with canvas cards by focusing on them, which is helpful if you need to adjust the view of a specific card. Overall, Better Canvas Lock provides more control over your Obsidian experience and helps you stay focused on your work.
