Hello, thank you for opening up so many possibilities in Obsidian with this plugin. Some ideas/suggestions for the new Threading mode (which is phenomenal btw):

  • Moving the text cursor to the next line after inserting an inline attribute. Currently the text cursor by default stays at the front of the note, so there are added steps to need to go to the end of the inline attribute prev: [[page]] and hit Enter. This would reduce a lot of friction too.
  • I've been thinking about the automatic naming convention of newly created threads. Because after going a few levels deep, you tend to end up with "next of next of next of next of... page" 🤣
    • An idea that came up was the core plugin in Obsidian - a Zettelkasten prefixer that puts it in YYYYMMDDHHmm
    • Or maybe page-apage-bpage-c? Would be relevant especially for prev → next relationships.
  • Would also be cool if we could see an entire linear sequence of next-prevs in a thread (like a forum thread / twitter-thread / etc).

Perhaps some kind of number scheme can be used. Like "next(3)", "2nd next", or similar.

@mikkovedru @crazymedguy I've implemented Threading Templates. Have a look in settings, under Commands > Threading.
I also add an incrementing value to the name if a note with that name already exists

Amazing! Thank you :)

@crazymedguy you can now use a custom date format, and the cursor will start at the end of the new note, instead of the beginning :)

Regarding your last point:

Can you make a separate FR for this?

Oops, I forgot to push the changes. The new release should now have custom date templates, and the cursor starts at the end of the new file
