Obsidian plugins with #shell#

The Terminal plugin brings terminal workflows into the vault by letting you open external terminals, run integrated shells, and use an emulated developer console on any platform. It supports multiple profiles, so you can switch between shells and terminal apps depending on the job, and it adds built in shortcuts for opening, focusing, clearing, closing, and searching terminal sessions. The plugin also restores integrated terminal history between app launches, can save terminal output as a file, and exposes settings for appearance and lower level terminal options. On mobile its role is narrower, mostly around the developer console, but on desktop it is aimed at people who want command line access without leaving their notes.

The Shell commands plugin allows users to define, customize, and execute shell or terminal commands directly from Obsidian. Commands can be run via the command palette or assigned to hotkeys, streamlining access to external applications and system utilities. It supports dynamic variables like file path, file name, and timestamps, which can be used to customize commands. Users can specify the working directory for commands and capture the output of commands back into their notes. This plugin enhances Obsidian's functionality by bridging it with system-level commands, offering a powerful tool for automation and customization.

The Lean Terminal plugin embeds a real PTY terminal inside the workspace instead of acting like a simple command runner. It auto detects the shell for each operating system, supports interactive terminal apps, keeps URLs and file paths clickable and lets terminals open in the vault root, the current file folder or any folder picked from the file explorer. Tabs can be renamed, pinned, reordered and restored with their working directory and scrollback when the app reopens. Search, copy on select, wiki link autocomplete, theme controls and startup commands are built in. The plugin also exposes a public key handler API for companion plugins, and includes optional Claude Code session integration with resume links and a maintained registry. It is desktop only.

The Command Line plugin enhances how command line code blocks are handled in Obsidian, streamlining workflows for users who document or share terminal commands. It allows copying commands directly from code blocks without manually selecting text, automatically stripping out prompts and command output so the clipboard content is clean and ready to paste into a terminal. The plugin supports different command-line styles, including shell, batch, and PowerShell, with automatic prompt detection and default values for each type.
