## What it is
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
