Auto-resizing when typing into a new card in a canvas note

Feature requests

Another vote for this idea. We can already create cards with specific width so vertical resize by default makes sense.

Apparently, two years later, the problem still hasnā€™t been solved

Actually I wonder whether Canvas is still on Obsidianā€™s priority list or not. It hasnā€™t been updated for a really long time.

Someone mentioned

on Discord for auto-resizing of cards as you type. Thought Iā€™d add the link here.

This actually solves my problem perfectly!! Surprised to find a fully functional solution near the end of the thread.

Recently came across this and itā€™s pretty good. It has Auto-resizing and you can also toggle Auto node resizing per card. One thing thatā€™s missing is auto-resizing for notes from vault so I created a feature request for that.

Update: I tried out GitHub - Quorafind/Obsidian-Node-Auto-Resize that was previously mentioned and it looks like it also doesnā€™t suport auto-resizing cards that are notes from vault.

Add me as a +1 for this.

What I was doing:

  1. Resize the card to be much larger than necessary.
  2. Double-click the corner and hope for the best. (Sometimes it seems to treat this as double-clicking both the bottom and the side at the same time?)
  3. If the card didnā€™t size down:
    3.1. double-click the bottom.
    3.2. double-click the side. (Side-note: often this is a one pixel hit box if the text is just one line.)
    3.3. double-click the bottom again. Yes, sometimes this does reduce the size again.
  4. In some cases this still produces the wrong result so manually resize to fit the content.

What I am now doing: using the Advanced Canvas community plugin, which sort of does the job, although the default width of 280 is abysmally small. 400 gives me a much better result. It should probably be measured in em instead of px.
