[Feature Request] New Command → Search By Clipboard

[FelipeRearden]

Hello again @aciq !!!!!

I have another workflow that I wanted to share with you.

The FR is divided by two Features:

1️⃣

A new command that is a variation of what Search by Tag does by using the Clipboard instead of a Modal

2️⃣

A NEW Modal Command option in the Settings to let the user define a different command from Search By Tag. ⦿ My idea is to use this new Command connected with a different Plugin than AQS.; ⦿ Thats why I am suggesting another.

Let me present below...

My Workflow

I use the plugin Omnisearch When I want to search for content inside the note

It's a powerful plugin that opens a MODAL to let users search for content inside the note instead of only the filename in two ways: → Search for content inside the Active Note → Search for content inside of ANY Note in the Vault.

Since I use Obsidian 98% of the time only with the keyboard, search for content using the Search Core Plugin is a nightmare, I use use Omnisearch to keep my hands in the keyboard.

Be able to automatic copy the content of the clipboard while doing a search would be amazing and save a precious time :)

Thanks for reading this !!!!! I hope you like my suggestion 🙏 🙏 🙏

Let me know if you need more information !!!

Have a great day 🌞

i haven't used omnisearch yet

so far "Another Quick Switcher: Header floating search in file" has been very good for in-file searches for me

i will report back when i have installed and tried omnisearch for a bit

My perfect combo for search inside Obsidian is AQS for Search Query + in-file Header Search AND Omnisearch for a fast search of content that are in my vault.

Omnisearch is perfect when you are writing/reading something and need to perform a quick search in other notes of a term that you have in the active note.

Thank you very much @aciq !!!

i used omnisearch for a bit and it really is much better than the default

i think the clipboard shortcut is such a personal thing it should rather be done in AutoHotkey on windows or Autokey on linux.

for example something like this when you highlight text

keyboard.send_keys('<ctrl>+c')
keyboard.send_keys('your-omnisearch-shortcut')
keyboard.send_keys('<ctrl>+v')

both programs also allow you to set a keyboard shortcut to only obsidian specifically

100% understood. I appreciate your suggestions about a workaround. My main motivation for this FR is related to my workflow:

• I use Obsidian both on Desktop and Mobile;
• iPadOS with keyboard and mouse.

On Desktop I do exactly what you said using Shell Commands plugin to run a terminal command to put the clipboard inside the Modal.

My problem is that I can't do this on Mobile (iPadOS) because Apple don't expose Terminal.

Feel absolutely free to close this issue. My intention with this message is too show my entire environment.

• It's been a journey to create a workflow that could be mirrored between these two devices.

Thanks for this amazing plugin :) I let you know if I have more FR to suggest to you :)
