Use case or problem
There is an option to move a folder exposed in the popup menu when right-clicking on a folder, but there is no corresponding command.
Proposed solution
Create a command, Move enclosing folder, that can be called from the command palette when editing/viewing a file. Allow it to be bound to a hotkey if we desire but do not bind by default. (I would not bind it, but some may want to)
Scenario:
- User opens a file in Obsidian and reads/edits it
- User decides to move the entire folder the file is in
- User opens the command palette and fuzzy-finds the command
Move enclosing folder - Obsidian displays the same popup menu as the existing right-click
Move folder to...function - User fuzzy-finds the desired folder and presses
Enter - The folder containing the current file is moved to the selected folder
- Obsidian displays a toast notification
Folder moved(or better:Folder moved to: [path from vault root])
Current workaround (optional)
Move mouse, find enclosing folder, right-click, then proceed from step 5.
Related feature requests (optional)
Obsidian currently provides no toast notification confirming success on file or folder moves. I will open a separate feature request and link them together.
