Auto View Mode for Obsidian

Automatically switches between Reading View, Source Mode, and Live Preview based on a frontmatter key in your notes.

Chinese summary

根据笔记中的 frontmatter 键自动在阅读视图、源码模式和实时预览之间切换。

Key Use Cases

  • Set certain notes to always open in Reading View for distraction-free reading
  • Force Source Mode for code-heavy or raw Markdown notes
  • Enable Live Preview as default for most notes while overriding specific ones via frontmatter

Pros

  • Saves time by eliminating manual mode changes
  • Works with any frontmatter key you define
  • Lightweight and non-intrusive

Limitations

  • Requires frontmatter to be added to each targeted note
  • Only supports three view modes (no custom modes)
  • May conflict with other view-related plugins
