What I’m trying to do
Can anyone recommend a JavaScript Editor? I am using Notepad on Windows but a custom-made editor would be better.
Things I have tried
I searched in the help, but no one seems to have asked this question before.
tip: vscode editor plugin within obsidian
Why not just use VSCode separately from Obsidian? Obsidian is not made to be a code editor so there are bound to be issues.
Either way, I’d report this to the dev on their github.
I thought VS Code was developed exclusively for use within Obsidian…?
No, VSCode is a program software engineers/coders use to edit files like this.
VSCode is made by Microsoft.

I highily recommend using an IDE and not Obsidian for code editing.
This definitely looks better. How do you connect VSCode to Obsidian, in that, how do you run/debug a .js file that uses as input an md file from Obsidian? I’ve googled this but am confused by what I find.
Open the file in VSCode, press CTRL/CMD + SHIFT + i in Obsidian and open the Console and then you can console.log() whatever you need to in your JS file.
