Selection Toolbar: floating formatting tools for selected text

Selection Toolbar is a free, open-source Obsidian plugin that shows a compact floating toolbar when text is selected in the Markdown editor.

It lets you quickly apply common Markdown formatting actions such as bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, highlight, inline code, wikilinks, Markdown links, lists, callouts, code blocks, comments, and case conversion.

It also includes keyboard-bindable commands for the same actions, so you can use it either from the floating toolbar or from Obsidian hotkeys.

The plugin works locally inside Obsidian and does not use any external service, analytics, or network requests.
