Obsidian plugins tagged with #source-mode. There are 4 plugins in this collection.
The Mode manager plugin enhances Obsidian's editing experience by providing dedicated commands to switch between reading, live preview, and source modes. Instead of relying on the default toggle behavior, users can directly switch to a specific mode, improving workflow efficiency. The plugin also includes a special property that allows files to open in a predefined mode automatically.
The Source Mode Styling plugin transforms source mode into a genuine raw text editor with monospace fonts and customizable styling options. It creates clear visual separation from Live Preview by applying developer friendly aesthetics. The plugin automatically detects monospace fonts installed on your system (Source Code Pro, Fira Code, JetBrains Mono, etc.) and lets you control font weight, size, color, line height and background.
The Base Source Editor plugin adds a Base Source mode view for editing the YAML behind Base files directly as plain text. It keeps the work inside the app while exposing the source for direct changes. Search and replace follows the native Markdown note behaviour and includes case sensitive matching, with its command available from the command palette or file menu. YAML syntax highlighting adapts to the active theme through built in CSS variables. The view works on mobile as well as desktop. You can switch between Source mode and Base mode with the Toggle source mode command or the dedicated toggle shown whenever a Base is open.
The Negative Heading plugin turns lines that start with `-# ` into compact muted headings, giving notes a lighter way to separate sections without using standard heading levels. It works across Reading View, Live Preview and Source Mode and keeps normal Markdown content such as bold text, italics and links inside the rendered line. A smart toggle command can add or remove the token on one line or across a selection, using majority based detection and preserving list markers when the syntax appears inside list items. The plugin also supports escape characters, ignores code and math blocks and uses theme aware colors with accessible heading semantics in Reading View.
