Defining where to show toolbars

Chris Gurney edited this page Feb 9, 2025 · 46 revisions

The Display rules section tells the plugin which notes to display toolbars on, in one of two ways:

  • based on a property; or
  • based on the folder the note is in.

You can also choose a toolbar to show on the New tab view.

Note

For positioning of a toolbar within a note, read about Positioning toolbars.

Property

Set the notetoolbar property on any note with the name of the toolbar you want to display. Set that note's property to none to not display a toolbar at all for that note.

Change the name of the property to use by by changing the Property setting.

If you prefer not to use properties, try Folder Mappings. (This property always overrides folder mappings.)

Folder mappings

Use the folder the note lives in to determine what toolbar should appear.

For example, if your daily notes are all in the same parent folder, just specify that folder and map it to your "Daily Notes" toolbar, and it will appear on all existing, and new daily notes.

Special folder mappings

Folder What it does
/ Maps toolbars for notes that just live in the root folder.
* Applies toolbars for all of your notes (note that you can still override this with more specific folder mappings or the property).

Tip

Map a toolbar to * at the bottom of your Folder Mappings, to create a "fall-back" toolbar that shows when no other toolbars are set for your note.

About precedence

The order in which mappings are listed here matters:

  • Notes are matched to folders starting from the top of the list.
  • If you have a property on a given note, it will override the folder mapping.

Drag a mapping up or down to change where it is in the list.

Show a toolbar in the New tab view

Enable Show toolbar in New tab view then select a toolbar to display in the New tab view.

  • Any references to files or properties in variables or script commands won't work.
  • If the toolbar is in the Below Properties position, it will be shown at the top instead.
  • Supports the Home Tab ↗ and Beautitab ↗ plugins.
