Plugin for opening daily notes in new pane, and much more!

2022-04-18 update: the plugin has been renamed to “Daily notes opener”, if you installed “Daily notes new tab” before, please uninstall then reinstall the new one.


Hi there,

I’m happy to share my first Obsidian plugin called Daily notes new tab, just search its name in Community plugins to install it.

This plugin adds a command for opening daily notes in a new tab (so that a keyboard shortcut could be used!) and gives extra control over the behavior of daily notes.

Features

  • :zap: Provides command and sidebar button for “Open today’s daily note in new tab”
  • :mag_right: Find and focus on the already opened note to avoid redundancy
  • :clock1: Determine end of day time, let you open the right daily note at midnight
  • :rainbow: Colorize the daily note pane to make it outstanding

2022-03-09 10.15.44

Settings

  • End of day time

    Determine today’s date, if the value is 03:00 and the current date-time is 2022-03-03 02:59, then the date for today is 2022-03-02.

    Default: 05:00

  • Always open a new tab

    Set true to always open a new tab even if the daily note is already opened, otherwise, the plugin will try to find the existing daily note and focus on it

    Default: false

  • Background color

    Set the background color of the daily note

    Default: #ffffff
