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.
