Quick note: in newer Obsidian versions, to create a checklist (at least on Windows), you'll need to press **CTRL+L** instead of **CTRL+Enter key** This behavior can be changed to whatever combo you'd like to use if you go to "Settings > Hotkeys > Toggle checkbox status"

@@FromSergio , right on point! Maybe some cosmectic stuff brings attention at first sight, but it's the quality of the content that'll make videos endure as well make people subscribe to the channel! Thanks a lot, and congrats for the excelent video!

FYI, you can put non-inline footnotes wherever. You don't need to put them at the bottom of the page. Either way, they will show up at the bottom in reading mode. And you can give each footnote a meaningful name instead of calling them 1, 2, 3, etc. The numbering shown in reading mode is automatic anyway, so the numbers you specify are meaningless. You can call it footnote 72, but if it's the first one on the page, it'll be called 1 in reading mode.

This was hands down the most helpful video on internal linking in Obsidian I saw until this date. THANK YOU! :-)

I write exclusively in source mode, so I LOVE that they show you the formatting even in source. I really hate markdown, but I have to use it everywhere and pretty much always have since it took over html as the webs main customization language. Being able to write in source but have it show me everything with the syntax is a lifesaver, and a feature I'll never do without now.

Thank you sir! I'm new to Obsidian, and this really helped alot with markdown syntax. What's interesting is that you can actually embed links, which is a pretty useful feature overall

*TIP* : 11:00 Actually, you don't have to come all the way down at all for the footnote using the [^1] [^1]: add footnote definition method. You can literally type type the definition on the next line, and Obsidian will move it all the way down automatically in Reading mode.

An efficiency note when linking to headers: When it drops down the list, highlight the one you want and hit tab. It will autofill with it and leave you inside the double brackets so you can follow up with a # or whatever instead of having to go back into the brackets to complete the link.

Is there not a way to display a formatting ribbon of tools like every other editor ever? I want to use this but I'm not a programmer or want to memorize a bunch of hidden commands for simple things like alignment/bold/boxes/etc..

this is crazy

This is much better if you could just highlight words with your cursor then a prompt would pop up to replace it with another syntax. Just like how notion does it. Or is there a new community plugin for this?

I am a macOS user, there are some differences, especially now with version 1. I am new to Obsidian and was greatly confused why I couldn't get the checklist to work. The keys won't work now for us, use Command + L. Even then I can't make rows of checklist or even columns of checklist.

Thanks FromSergio for your extremely helpful videos. Cristiano, the caret symbol ^ from the keyboard set which I must use ("U.S."), is not the same character that Obsidian needs for this to work (although they look almost identical). I changed momentarily to another keyboard set (on the Mac: System Preferences > Keyboards > "U.S. International - PC") and it worked. I copied and pasted the correct caret symbol ^ into an Obsidian starred note (easily accessible), and returned the keyboard set to "U.S.". I paste this character every time I need to create footnotes - it's a bit time consuming but it works. (I don't know yet how to create a shortcut in Alfred or Keyboard Maestro to input this character in Obsidian, but it is certainly possible). I runned into another problem today (probably also related to my limited knowledge). After watching this video I learned that a plugin isn't necessary to create footnotes, so I uninstalled the plugin which I had previously used. (Unfortunately, I was in a hurry and can't remember it's name). The problem is that although I can see older footnotes in Preview Mode (created months ago with that plugin), I can't edit these older footnotes anymore. They don't even appear in Edit Mode - although in Preview Mode their numbering updates correctly to accommodate newly created footnotes (those created today, after the plugin was uninstalled). The new footnotes seem to be working fine. I'd like to extensively use footnotes in Obsidian from now on. Please, am I right to think that this function is already very solid, even without any special plugin being needed? (The footnotes I created in the past are not important - they were mere tests). Thank you very much, everyone.
