Global Settings

These are generic settings that do not belong to a specific category.

Setting Description
Theme The theme that will be used to display gists embedded in your notes. If you force a single gist snippet to use a particular theme, this will be overwritten for that one gist only.
Text Wrapping This will determine if gists display a horizontal scrollbar. If a gist contains text that is not wrapped, a scrollbar will appear and allow you to scroll over the width of the gist.

Enabled = text will be wrapped to the next line.
Disabled = codeblock will display horizontal scrollbar
Trigger Keyword This is the phrase to use when initializing a new gist codeblock. If you change this value, you must go through your notes and also change to the new keyword.
Enable Gistr update notifications Keyword This will determine if you receive a notification box when you first launch Obsidian if Gistr has a new update available. This includes both stable and beta versions.
Notification duration If Gistr sends you a notification, this will determine how long you see the notification for.

Set to 0 if you wish for notifications to stay open and not disappear until you click on them.


Theme

1.0.0 light

This setting allows you to switch the color which is used for codeblocks that are turned into gists.


Gistr comes with two themes:

  1. Light Mode
  2. Dark Mode


The Themes setting allows you to flip between these two themes for your gist codeblocks; no matter what theme you use for Obsidian.

On top of being able to select which theme that gists are displayed in; you will also be able to override this setting for any specific gist. These settings however, are covered in the sections:




Text Wrapping

1.3.0 false

This feature will determine how text from your gist snippets appears in Obsidian codeblocks.
