Comment-like footnotes for Obsidian

This plugin adds shortcuts to quickly add new footnotes to your notes that can be used similarly to comments in apps like Google Docs or Notion.

Default shortcuts:

Ctrl + Shift + M - Insert automatically numbered footnote
Ctrl + Alt + M - Insert custom named footnote
These same shortcuts also let you navigate between the main text and a footnote when your cursor is on the corresponding marker or word(s) next to the marker.

Select a piece of text and the shortcut will add a ==highlight== around it, followed by the footnote: demo1

Footnote markers will automatically be placed at the end of a word if your cursor is inside a word: demo2

Features that would be pretty cool and awesome and epic

  • A preview of the content of the footnote when hovering the mouse over the marker (as if it was a normal link to a different note). Similarly to what this plugin does

Credits

The base functionality (i.e. shortcuts for creating & navigating footnotes) is based on the existing Footnote Shortcut plugin.
