[Feature] Add newline after inserting image via "add attachment"/the Share button

When using the share button to add an image to the vault, there is no newline after the image. This makes it hard to write anything below the image, since you need to find a way to focus the cursor on the end of the line, then hit enter on the keyboard.

This is achievable by clicking the image (zooms in), clicking again (to zoom out), and then the line with the ![[image name.jpg]] is shown and you can click to focus the cursor at the end of the line and hit enter.

I’m calling this a bug, because I noticed that if you try to delete the last newline after an image, it automatically gets added back. So that seems intentional. Yet when you insert an image through the share function, there’s no newline.

This is not a bug — images do not necessarily need to be on their own line, or be followed by a newline.

if you try to delete the last newline after an image, it automatically gets added back.

This doesn’t happen for me.

I took a screen recording of the behavior, but I can’t attach it to the post so included specific frames.

Specific steps:

1. Take screenshot

2. Share button to obsidian

3. (0:00 of video) click Import into vault
   

   

4. (0:03) click Insert link into daily note
   

   
   
   
   

5. (0:06) scroll down and see no new line after image (last line = 42)
   

   

6. (0:13) move cursor to end of line with image tag
   

   

7. (0:17) hit enter on keyboard, now see newline 43
   

   
   
   
   

8. (0:19) hit backspace from line 43. It scrolls us back and moves the cursor to the end of line 42
   

   
   
   
   

9. (0:22) but scroll down and still see line 43
   

   

10. repeat trying to delete line 43 and see it cannot be deleted, it always comes back

Can't write under the image in file in Mobile App

Ina test note, I was able to do it once, then couldn’t do it a second time. Seems to be impossible in Live Preview some conditions. Two workarounds for now are: Switch to source mode momentarily to add lines Add “move cursor” or “move line” commands to the mobile command bar to allow you to move the caret below the image

(There are some workarounds in the comments.)
