kMods

A collection of small miscellaneous tweaks for Obsidian. Each feature can be enabled or disabled independently.

Features

Cursor Management

• Hide cursor on file open: Removes the cursor when opening a document to preserve live preview formatting on the first line

CSS Snippets Manager

• Status bar toggle: Click to open a modal for quick snippet management
• Bulk toggle: Enable/disable all CSS snippets at once
• Open snippets folder: Quick access to your snippets directory

Bulk Plugin Toggle

• Adds a button to Community Plugins settings to disable/enable all plugins at once (except kMods)
• Remembers which plugins were disabled so they can be re-enabled later

Banners

• Display banner images at the top of notes using frontmatter
• Drag to reposition: Click and drag the banner to adjust vertical position
• Per-note height: Customize banner height for individual notes
• Context menu: Right-click banner to change or remove it
• Live preview: See banner changes in real-time when adding or changing images

Usage

Adding a Banner

1. Use Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl+P) → "Add banner to current note"
2. Select or type an image path (supports [[wikilink]] format)
3. Preview appears immediately in your note
4. Click "Add Banner" to save

Banner Frontmatter

Banners are stored in frontmatter:

---
banner: "[[path/to/image.png]]"
banner_height: 250
banner_y: 0.3
---

• banner: Image path (wikilink or direct path)
• banner_height: Height in pixels (optional, defaults to global setting)
• banner_y: Vertical position 0-1 (optional, set by dragging)

Changing the Frontmatter Field

By default, the plugin uses banner as the frontmatter field. You can change this in settings to use a different field name (e.g., cover, header).
