Hi folks!
Since I started using Obsidian, I’ve struggled with the limitation on special characters in note titles, which comes from the same restrictions applied to filenames in operating systems.
Recently, I came across this forum topic where people were complaining about the same issue I’ve had for years. Following some of the suggestions there, I created a plugin to solve this pain point once and for all.
Presenting Anychar!
This plugin lets you use (almost) any of the most common special characters in note titles. It works by replacing those characters with visually similar ones as you type (or when you paste something into the title). It’s a very simple plugin, but it solves a chronic problem in Obsidian. For now, it’s available only via GitHub, and the installation process is explained there.
Looking forward, I plan to collect feedback and suggestions to keep improving the plugin, and I hope to make it available directly through the “Community Plugins” tab in the future.
