The Automatic Renumbering Plugin for Obsidian is designed to keep your numbered lists in perfect order as you work. This tool automatically updates list numbers in real-time, saving you the hassle of manually adjusting them after edits. Whether you're adding new items, pasting content, or undoing changes, the plugin ensures your list remains sequential. It features smart pasting for consistent numbering when you paste content and provides manual control for those who prefer to update the numbers themselves. You can also renumber selected sections or entire notes with a few commands. Perfect for users working with large structured documents, this plugin helps you stay organized without any performance issues, even with extensive lists. However, it does not support Vim mode or automatic tab size detection for nested lists.
