Editor Full Screen

Full screen mode with configurable hidden elements via modal - including sidebars. Hidden elements appear on hover.

Features

• Single full screen mode with individually configurable hidden elements
• Hover-to-reveal: move cursor to viewport edges to temporarily show hidden elements
• Left sidebar: collapses on activation, reveals on ribbon hover, hides on editor return
• Right sidebar: collapses on activation, auto-closes when leaving the sidebar area
• Persistent state: remembers whether full screen was active before a restart (optional)

Hidden elements (configurable)

Element	Hover zone
Title bar + tab strip	Top edge
View header (file title inside editor)	Top area
Ribbon	Left edge
Status bar	Bottom edge
Left sidebar	Revealed with ribbon on left hover
Right sidebar	Collapses on activation

Companion Plugins

For toggling sidebars with shortcuts or mouse movements, check out these companion plugins:

• Obsidian Easy Toggle Sidebars: Easily toggle left and right sidebars using modifier keys and mouse movement.
• Obsidian Gesture Commander: Trigger sidebar toggles and other actions by mapping commands to custom mouse gestures.

Settings

Access via the plugin settings tab or the quick modal ("Configure hidden elements" in command palette or editor context menu):

• Persistent full screen: restore full screen mode on restart if it was active when Obsidian closed
• Per-element toggles (changes apply immediately if mode is active)

N.B: Enabling hide left sidebar also enables hide ribbon

Usage

All actions are accessible via the command palette or right-click. Hotkeys can be assigned in Obsidian settings.

Development

This plugin uses a template that automates the development and publication processes on GitHub, including releases. You can develop either inside or outside your Obsidian vault.

Environment Setup

File Structure

src/
  types.ts          — enums, interfaces
  constants.ts      — element configs, default settings
  hoverDetector.ts  — mouse movement + edge detection + reveal/hide logic
  sidebarUtils.ts   — sidebar collapse/expand helpers
  modal.ts          — quick-settings modal
  menuManager.ts    — context menus (editor + reading mode)
  settings.ts       — PluginSettingTab
main.ts
styles.css

Note: If styles.css is accidentally placed in the root folder instead of src, it will be automatically moved to the correct location when running any development command. After building, a copy of styles.css will appear in the root folder as part of the normal release process.

Shared Reading Mode Context Menu

This plugin shares its reading mode context menu with Obsidian Smart Print using a cooperative pattern:

1. Both plugins listen to the native contextmenu event on document
2. The first plugin to respond creates a shared menu stored at window._sharedReadingMenu
3. It then defers menu display using setTimeout(0) — this allows all other contextmenu listeners to run first and add their own items
4. Subsequent plugins detect the existing menu and append their items
5. After the event loop completes, the menu is displayed with all items combined

This approach avoids conflicts and ensures a unified context menu experience for users.

Development Options

1. Inside the vault's plugins folder:

   • Delete the .env file
   • Run npm commands as usual

2. Outside the vault:

   • Set the paths in the .env file:
     • TestVault for development
     • RealVault for production simulation
   • Necessary files will be automatically copied to the targeted vault

Available Commands

• npm run start: Opens VS Code, runs npm install, then npm run dev
• npm run dev: For development
• npm run build: Builds the project
• npm run real: Simulates a traditional plugin installation in your REAL vault
• npm run bacp: Builds, adds, commits, and pushes (prompts for commit message)
• npm run acp: Adds, commits, and pushes (without building)
• npm run version: Updates version, modifies relevant files, then adds, commits, and pushes
• npm run release: Creates a GitHub release (prompts for release title, can be multiline using \n)

Recommended Workflow

1. npm run start
2. npm run bacp
3. npm run version
4. npm run release

Additional Features

• obsidian-typings: This template automatically includes obsidian-typings, providing access to additional types not present in the official API.
