Outliner mode (similar to Logseq, Roam, Dynalist)

[mabdallay]

Just to add a bit more clarity, I think an outliner would be more inclusive, in that atleast for me, outlining, as is done in Logseq where I can quickly and easily break down thoughts block by block, allow me to free up working memory. Which is crucial, particularly for those who already have a lower working memory or working memory challenges.

Having things automatically bulleted place of doing this myself frees up even more RAM.

Agreed. I’d even be happy with just a couple of features for now (tab in bullet text indents, and drag / drop bullets with children).

I put in a clean feature request here for these two features (but the moderator closed it):

Not sure if anyone has seen this, but this plugin accomplishes some of the basic features that really go a long way: GitHub - vslinko/obsidian-outliner. It works well for me! However, block-level referencing is not quite up to par with more traditional block-level editors.

Excellent plugin!!
One thing I noticed:
When creating a new item with Enter key, indent of the existing item seems to be changed according to the indent of the next line.

  • item 2

after:

• (new item)
  • item 1
  • item 2

Thank you for your advice. I’ve tried to make a issue at GitHub.

Hello! I’m here now I’ll check this thread and think about new features later. If you want to track your ideas please create an issue on GitHub. I’ll appreciate it.

Manage lists (bullet lists, numbered lists) like an outliner (Dynalist/Workflowy)

Over the years, obsidian has made progress in the management of lists (bullet lists, numbered lists) with the introduction of hotkeys to indent, move list items, and automatic reordering of numbered lists. However, Obsidian still handles each list items individually. It may be desirable that: when a list item is indented, all its subitems are indented as well; when a list item is moved, all its subitems are moved along with it. This is the behavior that characterizes “outliners” (like Dynal…
