rofi-obsidian

This project currently has 2 main goals, integrating the opening of specific obsidian vaults directly into rofi, and circumventing a shortcoming obsidian currently has, which is being unable to select which vault to open at startup.

This programs makes use of x-scheme-handler to open the program that is currently assigned to handling obsidian://* URIs.

Example installation

Using cargo

From crates.io

Execute cargo install rofi-obsidian

From source

Clone the repository and execute cargo install

Manually

Either add the binary to your $PATH environment variable or move it into the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rofi/scripts folder.

Final Step

Don't forget to modify your config.rasi in the following way: Add "obsidian:rofi-obsidian" to the modes array and obsidian to combi-modes. You may circumvent step 1 and specify the entire path to the binary instead: "obsidian:/home/nico/.config/rofi/rofi-obsidian".

A minimal config example could look like this:

configuration {
    combi-modes: ["obsidian"];
    modes: ["obsidian:rofi-obsidian"]
}

Troubleshooting

Obsidian doesn't start

Make sure that one of the following programs is installed:

• xdg-open
• gio
• gnome-open
• kde-open

A different program starts when using the plugin

Execute the following command (or an equivalent command to inspect mime type associations):

xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/obsidian

It should return the executable being used to start Obsidian.
