Description

The Duplicate Detector plugin helps users identify duplicate lines within an open note in Obsidian by highlighting them and displaying tooltips with line numbers where duplicates exist. It also provides a notification when pasting new lines that already appear elsewhere in the file, helping users prevent accidental duplication. This is particularly useful for managing lists, tracking web links, or maintaining structured data where redundancy can be an issue.

Github

Features

Highlights duplicate lines in the active open note. Hovering over a highlighted line will show a tooltip with the line number where it is duplicated.

Example 1

Also, a notice is shown when pasting new lines that are already duplicates of existing lines in the file.

Motivation

When using obsidian notes to keep track of items, such as web links. I often don't know if the item I'm about to add already exists, and end up duplicating the same item multiple times, this plugin helps prevent this.

Possible future improvements:

  • Detect duplicate links, instead of lines.
  • Settings for excluding / including files and folders.
  • Detect duplicates across different files (in-editor or in a dedicated view).
  • Add command / shortcut to go to next occurrence of duplication.
