Manage your highlights in Obsidian by easily creating, removing and exporting them.
Create and extract highlights from a current markdown note in Obsidian into your clipboard. Based on icebear's plugin request.
This plugin will copy the highlights delimited by ==
, **
and <mark></mark>
into your clipboard as a bullet-list.
Optionally you can customize...
[[
Obsidian link ]]
The default hotkey for this is:
SHIFT + ALT + _
Super useful for when you're reading and just don't want to switch to your mouse for selecting the sentence.
Will remove highlighting if the sentence under your cursor is currently delimited by "==".
The default hotkey is:
SHIFT + ALT + =
There is also a button (a circle-shape) that's added to your left-side ribbon.
Clicking on it will also extract all highlighted parts in your current note and place it in your clipboard.
I looked into it and there’s a bug the way clipboard works with the Command Palette. Basically everything but the “Paste” works.
But I’ve found a temporary work-around. It’s weird but it works.
After using the hotkey, button or command palette, anywhere you want, just paste the clipboard!
Command + v (MacOS) or the equivalent on Windows/Linux
The output is a markdown-block titled "Highlights" with a bullet-list of the highlights.
Are you using Extract Highlights? I'd love to hear from you!
