Obsidian PopClip Extension
Captures the selected text to Obsidian, placing it either in a specified file or in the Daily Note page, optionally under a configurable heading.
When the text is captured from a supported browser, the source link will be added.
⚠️ Heads up! Preparation steps in Obsidian are needed. Please read the Configuration section carefully.
Configuration
Prerequisites:
- Install Obsidian.
- 👉 Install and enable the Obsidian Advanced URI community plugin. 👈
- Know the name of the destination vault in Obsidian.
- Decide whether you want to append to Daily Note or a named file.
- For Daily Note:
- Activate the Daily Note plugin in Obsidian.
- If you want to append under a heading, add that heading to the Daily Note template in Obsidian.
- For a named file:
- Know the name of the file you want to append to.
- If you want to append under a heading, add that heading to the file.
- For Daily Note:
PopClip extension settings:
- Vault Name: The name of the vault in Obsidian.
- File Name: Enter the name of the file to append to, or leave blank to use the Daily Note.
- Heading: Enter the heading under which to append the text, or leave blank to not use a heading.
- Include source link: Whether to include the source page link when capturing from a supported browser.
Troubleshooting:
- If the vault name does not exist, the capture action will silently fail.
- If the file name does not exist, the capture action will silently fail.
- If you don't specify a file name and the Daily Note plugin is not enabled, the capture action will silently fail.
- If you specify a heading but the heading does note exist in the file or Daily Note template, the capture action will silently fail.
