Obsidian plugin for mentioning people

Obsidian simple mention

A simple plugin that visually highlights mentions and suggests existing ones as you write (except in codeblocks).
The mention prefix can be customized and defaults to @.
Find all occurrences of a mention in the side pane and jump to the corresponding line in the document.
Distinguish your personal mentions from the others by a different color.

Filter your mentions by a phrase

Settings

You can:

• set the trigger phrase (@)
• set the color of the mentions (green)
• set the color of your own mentions (deeppink)
• set the name, how you want to mention yourself (Me)
• delete the cache (indexeddb)

Shortcuts

In edit mode

ctrl+space or ctrl+click on a mention, opens the right side pane with all occurrences of that mention.

In preview mode

When you click on a mention, the right side pane opens with all occurrences of that mention.

Known issues

• We need to restart Obsidian after
  • adjusting the trigger phrase for the changes to take effect.
  • changing the name of yourself for the changes to take effect.
  • ignoring a directory
  • deleting the cache
• Style could currently not be overridden by a template (simple fix)

Ideas

• Group mentions
  • eg. @group-x(@bob,@lisa)
  • usage: find all mentions of @bob and @lisa by searching for @group-x
• Multi select of mentions in the view
• Show sub bullet points
• own color for each "person"

obsidian-simple-mention's Issues

Wrong entries in mention list

I have some links to google maps and TikTok videos and plugin gives it to me as mention:

I think it's because it parses all text with @ sign with text on the left too.

Feature Request: @[[Name]]

Hi, I don't know if this specific use case is something that only fits me, but I have notes related with a person, and sometimes I don't remember who is who, so I do a person note with their photo, information, etc.

So nowadays (without this extension) I usually mention people by [[Person]]...
So I'm wondering if there would be a possibility to generate some @[[Person]] mentions instead that would be considered mentions, and be links to a file all the same.

Alternatively, keep the mentions as they are, but allowing to create a note related the @person mention. idk if this makes sense..

Regards,

Mobile support?

Might I ask what the current limitation of using this plugin on mobile is?

Tags are also found in images

Hi,

while I use your plugin I've found another issue with the mention tags. Not only in codeblocks (#5). It seems that the search logic is too general for tags. The search is applied everywhere also in binary images.

Unfortunately this ended in some performance issue, so I have to disable the plugin until there is a solution. But you already work on the performance issues, right?

Feature Request: New MentionView design.

I'm update simple-mention to 1.0.0，and it looks like:

I suggest MentionView design same the TagsView or TagCloud view will be more useful:

1. List view show all of the @mentions, and count mention times.
2. Click list item and use internal search funtions.
3. Click @mentions in notes, also use internal search functions.

Installation Problems

Went through BRAT. Simple Mention would not toggle to on, and froze Obsidian.

[FR] Linking mention to note

It would be cool if I can bind mention to a specific note that describes the person who it linked to.

Show mentions in graph view

It would be very nice to have mentions in the graph view of obsidian. Currently tags are the thing to show in the graph view but using tags for mentions is not that great.

[FEAT] Ignore Codeblock or specific folders

Is it possible to ignore codeblock or specific folders?

Ignore URLs, Formulas, Emails

The @ symbol is often found in URLs, formulas, queries, and Emails. It would be great if the plugin could exclude these instances so the mentions panel isn;t overrun with text that aren;t actually mentions.

Options disappeared symbol change

Hi, I'm using the Natural Languages Plugin, that plugin allows user to write dates with natural languages, and the trigger character is the @ sign, that conflicts with this plugin. So I went to settings and changed it to +, rebooted as per instruction.
When the product started, nothing reacted to the + sign. Went to see the options, and the plugin wasn't listed.

Don't know what happened, but feels like a bug

On MacOS the Shortcut interferes with the Emoji Keyboard Shortcut

Hi Tobi,

the default shortcut for the ejomi keyboard is CTRL + CMD + Space on MacOS. When using this command the simple-mention sidebar always opens, then I have to hit ESC to jump back to the editor and then I can use emojis. In src/CmDecorationExtension.ts line 65 I guess the check needs to handle && !e.metaKey, this way the bug would probably be fixed.

Can't load local vault

After I installed simple-mention, the local vault could not be loaded and the obsidian interface was stuck at the loading workspace screen. When I uninstall simple-mention, obsidian can load the repository normally.

obsidian version: v1.0.3
simple-mention: 0.1.0
