Changelog

Improvements

Tables

• Added RTL text support.
• Tables are now automatically formatted as you type. This means columns will now render cleanly in source mode.
• Tables will no longer break when typing in the line preceding a table widget.
• The paragraph submenu is now disabled inside the table context menu.
• Typing "---" will no longer autocomplete inside a table cell.
• Fixed issue where long horizontal tables would lose their scroll position on edit.
• Fixed issue where right-clicking inside a table would cause multiple context menus to appear.
• Lots of small fixes to how we handle editing text adjacent to tables.

Editing

• Formatting commands now recognize _ for italic and __ for bold.
• Fixed issue where "Copy" would not work in a file where a PDF was embedded.
• "Quick font size adjustment" is now disabled by default.
• Fixed some weird behavior with "Toggle comment" command when it was used next to other comments.
• It's no longer possible to accidentally edit text inside a fold. Navigating into a fold will automatically open the fold.
• "Close" has been moved to the top in the tab menu. Previously it would show below "Close all" and "Close others."

No longer broken

• Fixed Live Preview issue where tokens inside markdown code blocks will no longer get parsed and rendered.
• Fixed Outgoing links "link" button missing for unresolved links.
• Fixed issue where bookmarks would be hidden or missing from the Bookmarks view.
• Fixed "copy" button inside Sync History not working.
• Fixed issue where dragging and dropping screenshots into Obsidian would produce broken links.
• Fixed Outline view not showing leading numerics.
• Fixed page preview sometimes getting triggered when mouse is not hovering over Obsidian.
• Fixed issue where Backlinks view would incorrectly render links if they are on the same line as an embed.
• We have reverted the changes to how lists are displayed in Live Preview. They will be formatted how they were in v1.4.
• Fixed Enter, F2, and Cmd+ArrowDown not working when File Explorer is focused. Enter should now open the focused file on linux/win and rename the file on macOS. F2 will rename the focused folder/file. And Cmd+ArrowDown will open the focused file on macOS.
• Editing a ordered checklist (i.e. 1. [ ]) will no longer cause the checkboxes to get wiped out.

macOS

• Double-clicking on the sidebar tab items will no longer trigger "maximize window."
• Fixed View → Source Mode and View → Reading View app menu items getting out of sync with the app.

Vim

• Fixed issue where vim cursor got out of sync with the Obsidian cursor. This made it possible to accidentally edit Properties inside vim mode.
• The vim cursor will now be hidden if the editor is not focused (good bye red box!)
• Restyled the Vim normal mode command panel.
