I want to share a thought about a thing that I really find annoying using Obsidian. I usually use Callouts to gather parts of my notes, and each time I edit them the layout in Live Preview messes out, showing the code like Source Mode. I thing a Live Preview editing mode would really increase the overall experience using Callouts especially where inside the the are links, attached files or images, or even when multiple callouts are concatenated. I mean it should work like the new table editor or code block, where layout remains during editing.
Use case or problem
Callouts in “edit mode” shows all the text as in “source mode”
Proposed solution
Editing Callouts should maintain the UI as in “Live preview”
If one wants to only edit the content of the callout, a switch back to the source mode is not necessary. Only use source mode for the most nested callout block the cursor is currently in. Editing ‘callout block structure’ could be done similar to lists, via tabbing.
At least making this behaviour optional, would be much appreciated.
I’m having the same issue right now. Would love to be able to edit callouts like any other text/lists/etc. There’s already a “edit this block” button on them. I can use that if I want to see the markdown.
Same. I absolutely hate trying to edit a callout because clicking on it suddenly means all the coding expands, all of it is highlight and i have to scroll and click where i wanted the cursor to be again and if i want to put a bunch of code in there like html or am using a plug in to make columns with callouts… I have to scroll through it all, and it’s such a pain. It also interferes with certain things like toggles and text box inputs, such as with the meta bind plug in, where I can’t click them in editing without it opening the entire callout source. Please just let us be able to edit it like other things and only show the code if we hit the source button.
