Hey all, I’m new to Obsidian and one of my big use cases is linking my notes to content I read online, so I use a lot of URLs and sometimes they are not pretty (I’m talking maybe 4,5 lines of garble…). Is there a way to add the urls like one does in most apps, where after doing cmd+k a window appears to paste the url and then it’s conveniently hidden from the user?
I know they are hidden in cmd+E mode, but still, editing the notes with all that garble there is quite a nightmare… thanks!!!

No not yet. A WYSIWYM editor is on the development roadmap. Then you’ll see formatting as you edit.
To clarify, “cmd-E” mode is called “Preview Mode” and “Edit Mode”.
I’m wondering if it’s possible to have another editing mode of WYSIWYM (what you see is what you mean), just like Typora. It would help a lot to remove unnecessary distractions when you’re busy in PWM.

Thanks for the comprehensive reply. Hope it’s ready soon!
You can achieve that (url hiding in edit mode) with custom css:
/* CLUTTER FREE MARKDOWN */
/* hide formatting tags when line is not active */
div:not(.CodeMirror-activeline) > .CodeMirror-line span.cm-formatting,
div:not(.CodeMirror-activeline) > .CodeMirror-line span.cm-string.cm-url,
div:not(.CodeMirror-activeline) > .CodeMirror-line span.cm-formatting-link
{ display: none; }
/* except list markers, which should appear everytime */
span.cm-formatting-list { display: inline !important; }
/* and task checkboxes, with special font */
span.cm-formatting-task { display: inline !important; font-family: monospace; }
