The Novel Word Count plugin allows users to track a wide range of statistics for files, folders, and entire vaults directly in Obsidian's File Explorer pane. It provides real-time updates for metrics like word count, page count, reading time, character count, and even custom properties from frontmatter. The plugin allows users to display up to three statistics at once, offering flexibility to customize what data appears next to each file or folder. Users can set word count goals for specific notes and track progress as a percentage. Folder statistics roll up data from contained files, providing a comprehensive view. It includes filtering options to exclude specific files, folders, or code blocks from word counts. The plugin is designed for writers, researchers, and anyone managing large collections of notes who want to measure writing productivity in detail.

The File Info Panel plugin provides a comprehensive view of essential file metadata and writing statistics within Obsidian. It displays file creation and modification dates, file size, and offers quick links to open files in their native application or access the containing folder. Users can view detailed writing statistics, such as character, word, sentence, and paragraph counts, as well as word frequency analysis. The plugin also highlights image dimensions for image files and supports counts for selected text. Customization options allow users to control the displayed information, toggle URL and file name inclusion in word counts, and customize the display through CSS. This tool is useful for writers, editors, and anyone needing detailed insights into file content and metadata.

The Key Promoter plugin enhances user productivity in Obsidian by displaying notifications with shortcut suggestions whenever a mouse is used for an action that has a corresponding keyboard shortcut. This feature encourages the use of hotkeys for faster navigation and efficiency. For actions without assigned shortcuts, the plugin suggests commands that can be customized in the settings. Additionally, it provides a detailed statistics view of the most frequently used commands, accessible via the 'Key Promoter: Statistics' command. A presentation mode feature, which shows notifications of executed commands and their shortcuts, is also available and can be enabled in the settings. Inspired by similar tools for IntelliJ IDEA, this plugin supports users in learning and utilizing Obsidian's keyboard shortcuts effectively.

The Ridian plugin brings R programming and Quarto rendering capabilities directly into Obsidian, making it a powerful addition for data analysts and statisticians. With Ridian, you can seamlessly run R code, create Quarto-compliant documents, and embed interactive plots or widgets into your notes. It’s ideal for users looking to document coding workflows, link code snippets using Obsidian’s robust search and linking features, and integrate statistical analyses into their vault. The plugin also supports live updates to rendered content and enables smooth transitions between Obsidian and other Quarto-compatible editors. While not a replacement for RStudio, Ridian is perfect for lightweight R scripting and embedding visualizations in a markdown-friendly environment. Setup requires configuring paths to R and Quarto executables, and a few R packages, ensuring smooth functionality for Mac and Windows users. If you're an R enthusiast working in Obsidian, Ridian adds a dynamic edge to your note-taking experience.
