Just started playing with the new Obsidian releases. Watching a Nicole van der Hoeven video, I noticed she was running frameless and getting at a kind of “open windows” menu via what must have been a keyboard shortcut.
If you click it, I’ve started where she gets the menu I can’t get to. It looks like this on the freeze frame.
When I switched Obsidian’s window mode to “Obsidian frame” I got an icon in the upper right corner of the new window frame. Clicking it gave me this:
The question: How on earth do you get to these commands without this window frame? I’ve searched for “Obsidian main menu” and “Window menu” to no avail. An internet search found a Reddit request similar to mine, with no answers.
Nicole seems to have a shortcut set up to get to the Window menu under this main menu, but she doesn’t talk about that. Crtl-P doesn’t help. I’m at a loss.
Don’t use Windows or Linux (desktop) much anymore so not really familiar with electron apps and their window behavior. It does seem odd though. Using Windows 11…
-hidden frame:
Can’t find or use those menu items by clicking anywhere or using hotkeys.
-obsidian frame:
Clicking the Obsidian icon shows the menu but no hotkeys on the menu work for me (sub-menu hotkeys are fine).
-native frame:
Don’t see File/Edit/Insert… along the top at first, but if I hit alt+f, the menu bar then shows, can be clicked, and alt+f, alt+e, alt+i… can be used.
Not really any further along, but said I’d check back in.
