General question for the Obsidian gurus in the audience.
Is there anyway to use tab-key mid-line? I do not want to indent the start of my line, and I'd be happy to have tab-character auto-convert to spaces, but I cannot use this tool unless I have a way to tab.
I seem to use tab to make columns of lists, usually two or three columns worth. A decent analogy would be like the hosts file, or CRON. 2+ vertically aligned columns of lists.
I understand that <TAB> doesn't exist in markdown, but vim is able to convert tab-characters to spaces, is there any kind of plugin that allows this functionality?
- axelf4 4y agoThat just sounds like a table but with extra steps?
- UI_at_80x24 4y agoAre you saying that there is functionality called a `table` that I could use to give me similar results? I don't need/want a fancy grid, I just make multi-columned lists a lot. Another similar use-case: recipes! 1cup flour extra fine/sifted 1tsp vanilla extract is fine 1/4cup something else more cooking words It's not a lot steps, but if there's a table function I could look into without creating a grid, I could probably use that.
- Macha 4y agoThere are plugins like improved tables ( https://github.com/tgrosinger/advanced-tables-obsidian https://github.com/tgrosinger/advanced-tables-obsidian ) which make markdown tables quicker to write up.
