Feature Request: Move Folding Arrows to the right

[chrisgrieser]

Describe the solution you'd like How it currently looks:

How it looks with the arrows switched. Notice how 2. and 3. are now properly aligned.

Describe alternatives you've considered I used css to fix this, though a proper solid would obviously be preferable.

This is a problem in Obsidian's sidebars in general (see the file browser and the outline). There's a feature request to fix it and a help thread containing CSS that might fix it (I haven't read thru and tried it yet).

IMO it would be better to fix the alignment so the arrow sits outside the outline on the left than to move it to the right. That would keep it consistent with how headings and lists are, and with how operating systems style file trees. I also think it's easier to see which items can be folded/unfolded when scanning the list.

@chrisgrieser if you could share the css you created to fix the alignment issue, that would be great!

[chrisgrieser]

@vishae I use this

body #scene-list .scene-container {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: row-reverse;
}

body #scene-list .scene-container div {
    margin-right: 4px;
    margin-left: 0;
}

@chrisgrieser thanks!

@chrisgrieser not sure if this is happening to you, but now when I use the css snippet, the indented sections don't fold up anymore. The arrows still flips to show that the section should be folded/unfolded, but nothing actually happens.

@vishae yeah, either on Obsidian's side or on the Longform plugin's side something changed. I think for a stable solution, we would need to have a proper implementation from the Longform plugin.
