**65 - Obsidian Enhancements** are the different [layers of structure](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/obsidian-zettelkasten/1999/67) that have already been added and suggested. The **base layer** for Obsidian is the markdown file. On top of that you have:

- File Explorer
- Star Menu
- Search
- Graph View
- Quick Switcher
- Backlinks
- Tags Pane
- Today’s Note
- Zettelkasten Note
- Preview Mode
- Custom CSS

Then you have [unofficial enhancements](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/meta-post-common-css-hacks/1978/20), with my favorite being [andy mode](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/andy-matuschak-mode-v2-7-updated-for-0-7-new-panes/170).

When thinking about the different [native features](https://forum.obsidian.md/c/feature-requests/8) and [plugins](https://forum.obsidian.md/c/plugins/10), it helps to define the problem you are trying to solve and look at it through the lens of the [core note functions](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/obsidian-zettelkasten/1999/27).

My current slate of suggestions are:

- [Toggle Links](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/toggle-links/2113/2)
- [Graph View Sequencer](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/graph-view-sequencer/848/2)
- [Nested Popovers](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/nested-popovers/573/6)
- [Highlight and Pipelink](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/highlight-and-pipelink/82/3)
- [Graph View between two Notes](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/graph-view-between-two-notes/184/7)
- [Note Breadcrumbs](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/note-breadcrumbs/185/4)
- [Empty Popovers](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/empty-popovers/183/3)
- [Parameters to localize Graph View](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/parameters-to-localize-graph-view/80/6)

#todo sort out the quality of life improvements above vs. the functionality improvements.

One way to approach this question is to think about what software features facilitate knowledge management and knowledge development.

> 128 - Multi Tags Plugin - allow for different type of tags, whereby there are two tags pane. This allows for the creation of both [Keyword & Thematic Tags](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/obsidian-zettelkasten/1999/127). Not sure how this would be technically implemented, but from a design standpoint you could easily distinguish between the two types of tags using color.
