Obsdn-QuickSNIPP

ahk script for Obsidian.md to make transclusions from text blocks, save web snippets and take quick notes

use AUTOHOTKEY UNICODE

This script is a replacement for Obsdn-AutoSnipp.ahk with enhanced features

DESCRIPTION

WebSNIPP WebClipper

CTRL ALT C copy selected HTML to the clipboard as markdown

CTRL ALT X save selected HTML as a md file, and get the transclusion link in obsidian format

CTRL F9 save current webpage as a md file via the fuckyeahmarkdown.com API, and get the transclusion link in obsidian format. It's slow and sends keyboard shortcuts, so it's not highly reliable... Tested on FF, Chrome, Brave , Maxthon

QuickSNIPP Scratchpad

CAPS LOCK x2 display a scratchpad floating window to write quick notes. Save the notes as snippets and get the transclusion link. Hide the scratchpad with ESC or click on the X button.

AutoSNIPP Transcluder

CTRL SHIFT X extract the selected text as a new file, get the transclusion link = INSTANCES or BLOCK REFERENCE

CTRL SHIFT C extract the selected text as a file, then get the transclusion link = CLONING blocks.

since the new block is a copy, it can be modified independently, without modyfing the original paragraph
