# Quick Explorer plugin for Obsidian Quick Explorer is an [[Obsidian]] community plugin by PJ Eby (pjeby). It adds a clickable folder breadcrumb above each note. Each segment opens a menu with the sibling files and folders, and you can type to filter. It's the best answer I know to "what else is next to this note?". It adds six commands you can bind to hotkeys: `Browse vault`, `Browse current folder`, and `Go to next/previous/first/last file in folder`. In the menus, use the arrow keys, Vim keys (`Mod+h/j/k/l`) or Emacs keys (`Mod+n/p/f/b`). When you enter a folder, its folder note is selected automatically. There's also a "quick-preview mode": press `PgDn` to page through every note in a folder like a notebook. That's a fast way to skim a project folder you haven't opened in months. Two caveats: - It's desktop only - It's only useful if your folders actually mean something, and its breadcrumbs overlap with what [[Notebook Navigator plugin for Obsidian|Notebook Navigator]] gives you ## References - Source code: https://github.com/pjeby/quick-explorer - Community plugin page: https://obsidian.md/plugins?id=quick-explorer ## Related - [[The Complete Guide to Obsidian Search - Find Any Note When You Need It (Article)]] - [[The Best Obsidian Plugins for Finding Notes (Article)]] - [[File explorer core plugin for Obsidian]] - [[Notebook Navigator plugin for Obsidian]] - [[Folder note plugin for Obsidian]] - [[Folder Overview plugin for Obsidian]] - [[Hover Editor plugin for Obsidian]]
