Quick note: in newer Obsidian versions, to create a checklist (at least on Windows), you'll need to press **CTRL+L** instead of **CTRL+Enter key** This behavior can be changed to whatever combo you'd like to use if you go to "Settings > Hotkeys > Toggle checkbox status"

Thank God for people like you who are articulate, generous and have clear minds.

FYI, you can put non-inline footnotes wherever. You don't need to put them at the bottom of the page. Either way, they will show up at the bottom in reading mode. And you can give each footnote a meaningful name instead of calling them 1, 2, 3, etc. The numbering shown in reading mode is automatic anyway, so the numbers you specify are meaningless. You can call it footnote 72, but if it's the first one on the page, it'll be called 1 in reading mode.

Love your directness. Your explanations are concise and seem very authentic. Other KZfaqrs tend to labour their presentation style but I appreciate how you just get on with the job. Great work my friend, thank you 👍

You can also create your own block ids to link to. It does need to be the auto generated numbers. Syntax: ^your-id

This was hands down the most helpful video on internal linking in Obsidian I saw until this date. THANK YOU! :-)

As a soon to be computer science student I need a good note taking app to put all my ideas somewhere and I think I am going to try Obsidian 🥰🥰🥰 There is a lot to learn for sure!

2:55 Check-Lists are created by Ctrl+L von Windows

Really needed a quick guide like this; awesome. Followed line-by-line so I have a markdown syntax doc now, to refer to. Thanks so much!

Thank you sir! I'm new to Obsidian, and this really helped alot with markdown syntax. What's interesting is that you can actually embed links, which is a pretty useful feature overall

Very much looking forward to tables & dataview!

I write exclusively in source mode, so I LOVE that they show you the formatting even in source. I really hate markdown, but I have to use it everywhere and pretty much always have since it took over html as the webs main customization language. Being able to write in source but have it show me everything with the syntax is a lifesaver, and a feature I'll never do without now.

Very cool, thanks. I subscribed to your channel precisely because of the topic of studying Obsidian. And I like your presentation of information, you speak very clearly and without unnecessary fluff, very clear and specific things with clear examples and precise explanations.

Best obsidian tutorial out there.. I keep coming back when I forget and get lost.

Thank you so much for this video. This has really helped me to get a better grasp of what Markdown can do and how to do it, without turning into an information overload.

*TIP* : 11:00 Actually, you don't have to come all the way down at all for the footnote using the [^1] [^1]: add footnote definition method. You can literally type type the definition on the next line, and Obsidian will move it all the way down automatically in Reading mode.

this got to be the best channel to learn. so concise and easy to follow

Thank you so much for creating this! Great way to learn a ton about syntax very quickly.

Thank you for explaining all these useful syntaxes, one thing i learned is that there's a plugin called (Footnote shortcut) which might hep you get rid of the friction you mentioned in ( 11:02 ) as it puts the cursor right over the footnote after creation . but in my honest opinion I myself prefer your way (to define the footnote right after the thing we write and not at the bottom of the page).

Thanks for all the tips! Most of what you covered here aren't in others' tutorials. I especially like the "Advanced Linking, Aliases" part! I made navigation bars like in Wikipedia for some of my lists.

The renaming of internal linking was the real prize winner for me !!!

An efficiency note when linking to headers: When it drops down the list, highlight the one you want and hit tab. It will autofill with it and leave you inside the double brackets so you can follow up with a # or whatever instead of having to go back into the brackets to complete the link.

It really worked for me after I look and try some tutorials, yours is the one that worked. Owe you a lot.

Really useful! Thanks for making this concise and to-the-point tutorial :)

WOW. I really loved your video you explained everything I need so far in a short time. Keep the good work

I signed the newslwtter, but I would prefer RSS, to keep up to date. Thanks again. Every time I come back, a learn something I missed the last time.

Just wanted to say thank you Sergio. Thank you.

To-the-point, Thank you so much

BROTHER, YOU ARE THE BEST!!! You oooh really helped me!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Bro. Literally killing it out here. So clean.

Thanks for this, was wondering about the aliases in linking

All my questions answered in just the first 5 minutes. Damn. Thank you

Once more, thanks for the video. Now I got to do more with Obsidian.

Your content and delivery are awesome

Sergio, love the videos. Extremely helpful!

Amazing! Changing my work! Thank you, Sir!

very clear, and concise thank you sir

Hi Sergio. I'm back! I went to Evernote (like a dummy) - but they've made impossible to stay with them. So it's "Obsidian all the way!" (and your videos) for me. The reason I left is because of the way that Obsidian handles publishing of the vaults. I'm developing workarounds to make it happen with Obsidian..

You're awesome Sergio. Thanks for creating this useful tutorial 👍🏽

Very useful video, Sergio! Thanks!

Thank you. This is very clear and helpful.

Still working as of today! Thank you!

Your vid deserve more view. Very comprehensive, thankyou.

cheers! that was a perfect simple to the point video!!

Very concise and useful. Love markdown)

Thank you!

Thank you so much Sensei! You are a blessing!

This is great, thank you!

This was a very helpful video. Thank you!

Thank you. Great!

Thank you! Very useful!

Thanks. I m looking for this.

thanks, it actually let me through so i could download it.

Very useful, thanks buddy !

Woww! That is the best Obsidian tutorial out there.

Thanks!

This was so useful!! Thank you! subscribed.

didn't find it exhaustive, but rather condensed to comprehensive bits, but i'll check out the site to make my own vocabularies accordingly ; )

Great video, thanks 🎉

clean explanation. perfect

I like this guy. Great vids!

Nice summary 👍 9:36 - for some reason that first approach for footnotes doesn't render quite the same for me, it doesn't have the arrow button or a superscript footnote link (renders as "This is a footnote1" in read mode). The second approach works great though

Awesome program

keep going borther ❤❤

make more of these i like these vids keep it up

thanks helpful vid

Cool, thanks.

Thanks.

excellent starter

that was heavy and i dont really think ill ever use half of it but thanks at least i now know how to do things i really wanted to do like showing specific parts of a note instead of the entire note with the ![[ ]] thing

amazing videos, you sold me on the app. I am still a bit confused about how does the whole thing work. More specifically, how do I keep track of citations and references? Thank you

Thanks bro

This is much better if you could just highlight words with your cursor then a prompt would pop up to replace it with another syntax. Just like how notion does it. Or is there a new community plugin for this?

Is there any way to reference specific keywords of a text? Example I want a note to show how many times the word "Frog" appears and where they are in a text which is written in another note.

Excellent video. Is there a way to get automated Table of Contents an outline of note based on Headers? Or do I have to create that manually with double brackets?

I am a macOS user, there are some differences, especially now with version 1. I am new to Obsidian and was greatly confused why I couldn't get the checklist to work. The keys won't work now for us, use Command + L. Even then I can't make rows of checklist or even columns of checklist.

Hi, great work, appreciated. Can you exlain how to user special symbols like '&,%' in our docuentation using markuplanguae.

Can someone explain how I can nest? I'm not sure how to do it for check lists or bullet points

I have a list of things under a header called # List 1. Is there a shortcut command to extract this list to another note without having to copy and paste? I'm on my mobile 95% of the time. Only on my laptop 1-3 times a month. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is there not a way to display a formatting ribbon of tools like every other editor ever? I want to use this but I'm not a programmer or want to memorize a bunch of hidden commands for simple things like alignment/bold/boxes/etc..

Where do you get the hour glass to create two panes? Did I miss a video on a plugin?

Thanks for a great tutorial. Is there a quick way to double underscore or double anything to finish a syntax like bold or italic?

GOD!!!My broo

Command plus enter does not work in my obsidian when trying to make a task list. It is really frustrating. How do I make it work?

How do I do both bold and italics?

Is there a way to embed the third, fourth and so on degree bullet point?

wait im confused on how you nested the lists. It doesn't work for me

Why I cannot create checkbox when press "command" and "enter" would you help to teach me

Is there a way to add an empty text box for completion? like a textarea

i dont have that sunglass icon can u please guide me how to enable it

9:37 footnotes syntax isn't working on Obsidian's mobile version 😢, anybody got a solution?

this is crazy

can you help me? i want to download this language but i don't know where download

what about putting color on text? it is possible?

Is it possible to export it as pdf and still get the links (on the same page)?

You do make great videos, make a PDF of it and make a little on the side. Just saying!

0:35 No sunglasses icon in my Obsidian. Where do I find that function?

How would I link to a specific project?

Great video, please don’t forget that Linux and Windows have same shortcuts. Linux is the operating system that is more polished that Mac OS in terms of how it works. Mac has a lot of issues with how it’s processor works which is fixed in Linux.

Bro i just wanna change the font
