Commands

There are two ways to identify a command.

• commandname That's the one you see when searching in Obsidian's command palette
• commandid That's invisible to the user, but can be read from the plugin's source code

info

Using the command's ID is strongly recommended, because it's not likely to change. Using Helper Commands the ID is automatically obtained.

In the following <command> can be replaced with either commandname or commandid.
