Allow use of all Lucide icons or emojis for icons

[realfr]

Describe the feature

• Enable all available Lucide icons, this way after browsing, I can just search for the icon on the plugin and have it available.
• Expand the choice of icons to something that can be browsed on any computer or mobile phone like emojis. I can browse for the appropriate emoji and then just apply it using the plugin.

Does this fix a problem? If so, specify.

The only way to find an appropriate icon is to keep typing words that might potentially match an icon available from the plugin. This can take ages. The icons are only searchable via their names on Lucide.

Did you consider other alternatives?

An alternative way of finding an icon would be to go to Lucide. What's very frustrating with this workflow is that once I've found an icon, it is often not available on the plugin.

HUGE request on my side, to me that's the only thing that's missing

[jcesguerram]

Agreed! More icons would be great. If you could add for example 'H1', 'H2' etc icons for header commands that would be awesome

+1 on this request. I have my own script to create a new kanban board, and I'd love to assign the icon Obsidian Kanban uses for the Ribbon to my script, but it is not available in Commander :( Thank you!

Another +1 on this request. More emojis make this app so much more powerful when you use is for many ribbon items for example.

+1 on this request!

In the meantime, I managed to use some of the other Lucide icons by manually putting them in the data.json file in the plugin directory. But this would be 100% better...

how did you do that?

[O-RONI]

how did you do that?

1. Go to <YOUR VAULT>/.obsidian/plugins/cmdr/data.json.

2. Search for the command you want to change the icon for

for example, this one:

3. Change the icon value for one of the Lucide icons name

You can look for them here: https://lucide.dev/icons/

4. Restart Obsidian or the commander plugin for the change to take effect

Hi all, my understanding is that this is done on Obsidian's side. I noticed a request on the forum here if you'd like to upvote it: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/upgrade-lucide-icons-and-improve-timeliness-of-future-upgrades/73152

I'd asked about this previously on Discord here (not sure if that link will work): https://discord.com/channels/686053708261228577/840286264964022302/1217155092256526528

But basically they said they'll update it at some point ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you @O-RONI for providing a quick fix!
