The Optimize Canvas Connections plugin helps improve the layout of connections between notes on an Obsidian canvas. As users brainstorm and rearrange their notes, the connections can become cluttered and difficult to follow. This plugin offers two optimization options: 'Shortest Path,' which reconnects notes using the nearest edges in the most direct way, and 'Preserve Axes,' which maintains the original directional flow of connections, ensuring vertical and horizontal relationships are respected. The plugin is especially useful for users who work with complex canvas layouts and want to streamline their note connections while preserving meaningful orientations like time or detail flow.
