Open a local graph in a hover editor?

[4l1fe]

Hey, i'm trying to make a macro in the Commander plugin to open a local graph in a hover editor, but not sure if it is possible.

I see the command of the Hover Editor plugin, "Open new Hover Editor." Can i tell that command explicitly what to open in a new editor?

No, but you can just run whatever open command you want afterwards (with a small delay to make sure it's actually open).

Could you hint how to make it?

At the moment i have a macro that isn't working with Hover Editor.

With the Auto Focus option enabled.

It doesn't work. A new editor disappears quickly. Also, i'm not sure that the new editor is acknowledged about whose a local graph to open.

Does it work if you run those commands manually?

I just tried it, and you can't run "open local graph" if there's no active file. I think what you want is to run the command "Open current file in new Hover Editor", followed by "Open local graph". Or perhaps the other order: "Open Local Graph" (which creates a new pane) followed by "Convert active pane to Hover Editor".

Try running those commands manually and see what order works. I think from my experiments you are best off with "Open Local Graph" followed by "Convert to Hover Editor", but I am assuming you are starting from a normal pane, and if you're doing something different that might not work.

(I also don't think auto focus has anything is relevant here, that's only for hover editors opened by hovering, not by any of the various open/convert commands.)

It works, but i see all the animation of opening a graph tab and converting it to a hover editor.
Would be great to disable it but i guess Obsidian isn't designed to configure such fine nuances.

Anyway, that's a good point you helped me to get to for further research.
Thank you 🤝
