Overview

URI Reference

NOTE

A *Uniform Resource Identifier is a unique sequence of characters that identifies a logical or physical resource used by web technologies. See Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for more details.

• The Default Obsidian URI: Obsidian - URI Scheme for controlling Obsidian
• The Advanced URI Community Plugin for controlling Obsidian
• The Hotkey Helper Community Plugin uses its own Hotkey Helper URI (pjeby/hotkey-helper (github.com))
• URI Schemes are generally practical, since they also work on any platform, including mobile.
• URLs must be properly encoded. The Advanced URI Plugin: Copy Command URI already applies proper URL encoding.
• In JavaScript, the functions encodeURIComponent() and encodeURI() are used for encoding.
