ahk script for Obsidian.md to make transclusions from text blocks, save web snippets and take quick notes
use AUTOHOTKEY UNICODE
This script is a replacement for Obsdn-AutoSnipp.ahk with enhanced features
CTRL ALT C copy selected HTML to the clipboard as markdown
CTRL ALT X save selected HTML as a md file, and get the transclusion link in obsidian format
CTRL F9 save current webpage as a md file via the fuckyeahmarkdown.com API, and get the transclusion link in obsidian format. It's slow and sends keyboard shortcuts, so it's not highly reliable... Tested on FF, Chrome, Brave , Maxthon
CAPS LOCK x2 display a scratchpad floating window to write quick notes. Save the notes as snippets and get the transclusion link. Hide the scratchpad with ESC or click on the X button.
CTRL SHIFT X extract the selected text as a new file, get the transclusion link = INSTANCES or BLOCK REFERENCE
CTRL SHIFT C extract the selected text as a file, then get the transclusion link = CLONING blocks.
since the new block is a copy, it can be modified independently, without modyfing the original paragraph
this script requires AutoHotkey UNICODE to be installed. It relies on the following libs :
- Winclip by Deo http://www.apathysoftworks.com/ahk/index.html with the UTF8 mod from https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=29314&start=20#topahk%20strput
- CreateFormData.ahk by tmplinshi + mod by SKAN https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?p=85687#p85687
the required ahk files are provided in _includes. make sure to update the correct path in the CONFIG section.
Before first use, edit the .ahk file with a text editor to change the default configuration search for 'CONFIG' and modify :
- the path to the
includelibs - the location to save the snippets in your obisidan vault
- optionally, tweak the naming convention for the generated snippets
- optionally, modify the macro shortcuts
