Edit: my post was flagged as off-topic so I will add my explanation. Explanation: Matthias was concerned about security in Obsidian and he decided to use Obsidian without plugins. My answer was directed to Matthias to show current limitations in Obsidian. Similarly my answer could be relevant to any user concerned about using Obsidian without additional plugins * * * Here are some highlights of active feature requests:   > [@Copy-and-paste rendered version (no markdown) from the editor](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/copy-and-paste-rendered-version-no-markdown-from-the-editor/74252): > > I’m not sure if this is a real request for a feature that doesn’t exist, or a request for help figuring out how to use a feature that does exist, with or without a plugin, but what I want to be able to do is copy from Obsidian and paste to something else, without markdown. Use case or problem I do a lot of my writing in Obsidian, because it’s easy to break it into blocks that way. So I can make each book chapter, for instance, a note, and it’s easy to move things between them. But eventually, … ↑ Allows workflows Obsidian ⇔ Word (etc). This is really important because Word allows creating pdf or physical documents with visual formatting. It also offers easy collaboration.   > [@Default template for new note (cltr-n, click to non-existing note)](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/default-template-for-new-note-cltr-n-click-to-non-existing-note/10332): > > I created this request to consolidate a few FRs about new note creation. It would be nice when a new note is created to automatically have it populated from a template. A new note is created when: You click the new note button You use the shortcut ctrl-n You use the command palette shortcut You click on a non existent wiklink. Current workaround (optional) Two steps: Create the note Select and insert a template ↑ I think this is not very useful itself because you would want to produce different documents with different templates. There should be other command like ⌘M or ⌥N which allows to create notes from a selected template (FR: [Template for file creation](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/template-for-file-creation/91746)). Currently you have to chain two separate commands, new note creation and then template insertion. Templates don’t allow to specify file names (FR: [Template File Name Format](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/template-file-name-format/16329)) or folder (FR: [Enhancement of core Templates plugin: Move to folder](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/enhancement-of-core-templates-plugin-move-to-folder/74683)).   > [@Bases: New With Template (for 'New' Button)](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/bases-new-with-template-for-new-button/102639): > > Use case or problem I absolutely love the Bases feature. I love that I can make a list of files. I also love the “new” button at the top. However, with the current use, my workflow is add a new note, delete everything in the note, and replace with a template (because it won’t replace the properties therein). Proposed solution Please add a dropdown (or modifier to the button, like ctrl-button) to allow us to create with a template. It can auto tie into the core templates plugin, or the templ… This is very useful combined with [Ability to access new button in a base for a view as part of commands to create it anywhere in obsidian](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/ability-to-access-new-button-in-a-base-for-a-view-as-part-of-commands-to-create-it-anywhere-in-obsidian/104764). But bases are designed to work with crafted search queries (that find existing notes) and a search query does not equal an instruction to create a note. So in a sense these two feature requests are not very essential because ultimately we would like to use a template language/syntax to craft notes. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/how-does-obsidian-handle-supply-chain-security/105771)._
