Properties view CSS - The Fall Collection

Nice! I tested it and it looks good although properties in Properties view (sidebar) are affected. Could you exclude the sidebar view somehow?

I don’t use that sidebar and don’t know.

A bit verbose, but a quick way to do it reset the changes made with the original snippet. Adjust as desired:

/* reset File properites sidebar from original CSS adjustments */
.mod-right-split .metadata-property-key-input { padding: unset;}
.mod-right-split .metadata-properties-heading  { display: unset; }
.mod-right-split .metadata-property { margin-left: unset; }
.mod-right-split .metadata-add-button { display: unset; } 
.mod-right-split .metadata-container  {
  padding-left: var(--size-2-3);
  margin-top: 0em;
  margin-bottom: 0px;
  margin-block-end: 0px;
  font-size: var(--font-ui-small);
}

edit: This should work as well keeping everything together:

.workspace-split.mod-root .metadata-property-key-input { padding: 0;}
.workspace-split.mod-root .metadata-properties-heading { display: none; }
.workspace-split.mod-root .metadata-property { margin-left: 50px; }
.workspace-split.mod-root .metadata-add-button { display: none; } 
.workspace-split.mod-root .metadata-container  {
  padding-left: var(--size-2-3);
  margin-top: 0em;
  margin-bottom: 0px;
  margin-block-end: 0px;
  font-size: var(--font-ui-small);
}

.mod-root is the main center workspace, so this keeps the adjustments from affecting the sidebars.

Thanks! It works nicely although having properties related shortcuts is quite overkill imo. There is even Toggle fold properties in current file command which is quite crazy although not every command needs to have a keyboard shortcut assigned since you can use the command palette. People are really still experimenting how they will use properties because properties are supposed to be used differently than traditional document metadata (related Make file metadata and properties separate concepts). I personally think having a separate sidebar view for document metadata would be fruitful and this could be implemented internally by reserved property names like .obsidian-file-created, .obsidian-file-id etc.
