I want to have text within lists I am writing edited simultaneously in two locations inside the same note so I don’t have to manually copy the text over every time I make a change.
Is this possible?
I tried a few ways but it’s always a link or a note of the text and not a editable copy.
I have skimmed through the documentation but I can not find what I am looking for, though it’s possible I missed it since I barely slept.
if you alt click on your note you add a second cursor so that when you type it shows up in both places. you can add as many as you like, then when you next LMB on the note it resets to just one cursor. Would that do the trick?
That is indeed useful but not what I was looking for since it still requires having to manually scroll and click the separate locations.
If what I am looking for is not available as a feature then that is the best option and I will find use for it regardless so thank you.
The only other idea I had was doing a self referencing embed. This can be a little risky if you’re not careful (recursive embedding!) and only the original part of the note would be editable, which would be annoying. If you do later find something that solves your problem perfectly please do report back.
That definitely works 90% in the way I wanted it to.
The only gripes I have with it are visual and it’s how the embed looks different from the rest of the note and how where the embed link is written creates a gap visually and the block id on the note being embedded.
I did however find a CSS snippet (https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/comments/xd0sir/hidden_block_id_snippet/) that hides the block id unless I’m editing that line so that’s fixes it for the most part and now creates a blank row between the last line of text and the next list so it actually helps with readability.
I suspect that’s the how close I’m gonna get to what I wanted.
I appreciate your help and the speed at which you gave it, thank you very much.
