An Obsidian community plugin that adds a customizable MS-Word-like editing toolbar to the note editor, forked and extended from the unmaintained cMenu plugin. It offers toolbar styles and positions (top, cursor-following), multi-window support, and built-in formatting commands like font color, background color, and list indentation.

Use cases

• add a formatting toolbar to Obsidian notes
• format markdown without memorizing hotkeys
• get a WYSIWYG-like editing experience in Obsidian
• change font and background color of text in notes
• have a toolbar follow the text cursor while editing
• use a rich text style editor modal in Obsidian

When to choose

• you use Obsidian and want visual formatting controls instead of markdown syntax or hotkeys
• you liked cMenu but need a maintained alternative with more features
• you want toolbar positioning options like top bar or cursor-following
• you need multi-window and multi-tab support in newer Obsidian versions

When to avoid

• you don't use Obsidian as your note-taking app
• you prefer pure markdown editing without visual toolbars
• you need a general-purpose rich text editor outside of Obsidian
