Description

Category: Customization & UI

The Scroller plugin enhances the writing experience by reshaping how the editor reacts to movement, focus, and navigation. It introduces a typewriter mode that keeps the active line anchored at a steady height, creating a stable rhythm while typing. A dedicated focus mode dims surrounding text at various scopes, helping you stay locked in on the ideas you are shaping. The plugin also adds instant scrolling commands for jumping to the top or bottom of long notes, and it can autoscroll daily notes so you land exactly where new writing should begin.

Scroller for Obsidian

I created Scroller to fix a few practical issues I had while writing in Obsidian. The plugin adds a typewriter mode to keep the active line centred, a focus mode to dim distractions, and a couple of commands for navigating notes more quickly.

Features

  • Typewriter Mode: Keeps the current line at a fixed vertical position in the editor.
  • Focus Mode: Dims the text outside of the current line, sentence, paragraph, or section to help you concentrate.
  • Quick Scrolling: Adds commands to instantly move to the top or bottom of a note.
  • Auto-Scroll for Daily Notes: Automatically scrolls to the bottom of your daily note when you open it, so you can start writing straight away.
  • Cursor Scrolling: Lets you move the cursor line by line with the mouse wheel instead of scrolling the entire view.
  • Hide Scrollbars: An option to remove all scrollbars from the Obsidian interface for a cleaner look.

How to Install

  1. Open Settings in Obsidian.
  2. Go to Community plugins and make sure that «Restricted mode» is turned off.
  3. Click Browse to open the community plugins store.
  4. Search for «Scroller».
  5. Click Install, and then Enable once it has downloaded.

How to Use

Once installed, the plugin can be configured from its settings panel. Most features are disabled by default.

Commands

Scroller adds two new commands to the command palette. You can assign hotkeys to them in Obsidian's settings.

  • Scroller: Scroll to top: Scrolls to the beginning of the current note.
  • Scroller: Scroll to bottom: Scrolls to the end of the current note.

Settings

You can find the settings under SettingsCommunity PluginsScroller. All features, such as typewriter mode, focus mode, and smooth scrolling, can be enabled and customised there.
