Obsidian Setup
Obsidian is extremely customizable, wich can be an issue for newcomers.
We provide a base-setup that can be used as is, including plugins and themes aswell as their finetuned settings.
This is a base-setup and can be further tweaked to anyones personal preference.
We provide just a working solution - wich we will document and explain here.

Advanced Canvas¶
Gives access to a lot of new functionality and styling options for Canvas
BRAT¶
needed to install unofficial plugins / plugins not registered in Obsidians Ecosystem, namely:
- Dataview Serializer
- Sortable
Better Word Count¶
Mainly used for its ability to show number of words/characters in highlighted text.
Is visible in status-bar
Beautitab¶
Purely cosmetical, gives a customizable "empty new tab" page
Clear unused Images¶
as the name says, helps with organizing the vault by identifying unused images
❗I exluded the subfolder /site/ so it doesnt delete always the images from the build website (wich isnt an issue, more of an annoyance)
❗Careful with using the clear attachments command - as this will always delete mkdocs.yml and the license. --> if this happens, the files are in the .trash folder and can be recovered. But its easy to miss.
Dataview¶
enables SQL like queries on the vault
Dataview Serializer¶
turn Dataview results into markdown
helps with re-using the results of dataview queries in the actual notes
Emoji Toolbar¶
well, gives easy access to emojis
Hotkey set to: ALT-E
😍
Linter¶
cleans up markdown files and frontmatter data
helps with keeping a consistent form
Note Toolbar¶
enables customizable toolbars on top of a note that can be defined on a folder/file level
Tag Wrangler¶
gives additional options to work with tags
- renaming tags
helps with organizing the vault
Templater¶
allows customizable templates that can be inserted manually or based on conditions (like creating a note)
Status Bar Organizer¶
Allows to hide items from the status bar
Sortable¶
Allows sorting of tables (both markdown aswell as dataview tables) by clicking on their headers.
Workspaces Plus¶
Allows for an easy quick-switch from the status bar
Vault File System¶
