# Click to Edit

An Obsidian plugin that makes notes feel more like a wiki: every note opens in
**reader mode** by default, and a single click anywhere in the note flips it
into **edit mode** with the cursor placed at the **end of the note** (or
wherever you prefer).

## Features

- **Reader mode by default** — whenever a note is opened, it is
  automatically switched to reader (preview) mode.
- **Click anywhere to edit** — a single click in the rendered note flips
  the view into edit (source) mode, with the cursor placed at the end of the
  note so you can immediately start typing.
- **Configurable cursor placement** — choose end of note (default), top
  of note, or as close to where you clicked as possible.
- **Respects normal interactions** — clicks on links, tags, task
  checkboxes, fold buttons, and other interactive elements still behave
  normally instead of triggering edit mode.
- **Keeps text selection** — if you're selecting text in reader mode, the
  plugin won't switch to edit until you release the selection.

## Settings

Open **Settings → Community plugins → Click to Edit** to configure:

- **Open notes in reader mode** — toggle the auto reader-mode behavior.
- **Skip empty notes** — don't force reader mode on brand-new, empty
  notes (so creating a note still drops you straight into editing).
- **Cursor position on edit** — choose between *Bottom of note* (default),
  *Top of note*, or *Where you clicked*.

## Commands

- **Click to Edit: Switch active note to reader mode** — manually switch
  the current note back to reader mode without opening the view menu.
