The Frontmatter Alias Display plugin is a game-changer for Obsidian users who utilize the Zettelkasten method. This plugin allows you to display frontmatter aliases as note titles in the File Explorer, making it easier to navigate your notes. Instead of seeing arbitrary IDs like `202303041748`, you can now see more informative titles like `the difference between .prototype and .constructor`. This feature combines the benefits of using note IDs for linking with the readability of descriptive titles. With this plugin, you can use Obsidian's link alias syntax to link to notes while displaying a custom title.

Obsidian Plugin Spotlight: Quick Explorer This week, I'm excited to share with you another fantastic Obsidian plugin that has recently been released: Quick Explorer. This plugin is designed to enhance your file exploration experience in Obsidian, making it easier and more efficient to navigate your vault. What does Quick Explorer do? With Quick Explorer, you can browse your vault or current folder quickly and easily using a dropdown menu. You can use the keyboard or mouse to navigate through the menu, selecting files and folders with ease. The plugin also includes several hotkeyable commands that allow you to jump between files and folders quickly. Key Features * Browse vault: Opens the dropdown for the vault root * Browse current folder: Opens the dropdown for the active file's containing folder * Go to next file in folder: Opens the next file in the active file's folder * Go to previous file in folder: Opens the previous file in the active file's folder * Go to first file in folder: Opens the first file in the active file's folder * Go to last file in folder: Opens the last file in the active file's folder Limitations While Quick Explorer is a powerful plugin, there are a few limitations to keep in mind: * Files are always sorted in ascending name order (using the same collation rules as the file-explorer view) * You can drag things *out of* the dropdowns, but you can't drop anything *into* them * There is no way to configure sorting or grouping of files * Only "inside same"-style folder notes are supported Conclusion Quick Explorer is a fantastic plugin that can greatly enhance your file exploration experience in Obsidian. With its simple and intuitive interface, it's easy to navigate your vault and find the files you need quickly. While there are some limitations to keep in mind, I highly recommend giving this plugin a try if you're looking for a better way to manage your files in Obsidian.
