Command palette reference

Almost everything Operon does has a command in Obsidian's command palette. Open the palette and type Operon to see them. This page lists the commands by purpose.

Many commands are context-aware: the same command behaves differently depending on where you run it, such as on selected text, an empty line, an inline task, a normal note, a file task, or a task view. The descriptions below note when that matters.

This page is the index. The action commands link to a dedicated page with their full behavior; the view and feature commands link to the feature they open.

Create tasks

Create New Operon Task: opens the full Task Creator. The safest starting point when you want Operon to guide you through the fields.
Create or edit inline task: context-aware. On an empty line it creates a task; on plain text or a checkbox it converts or upgrades the line; on an existing task it opens the Task Editor.
Create file task: creates a task that lives as its own note, optionally seeded from selected text or an inline task. See File tasks.

Edit and convert

Edit or convert to file task: edits the current file task, or converts a normal note into one.
Convert file task to inline task: collapses a file task back into a single inline task, then moves the old note to the Obsidian trash. See Converting inline and file tasks.
Convert Tasks emoji line to inline task: migrates a line written in the Obsidian Tasks emoji format into an Operon inline task. See Obsidian Tasks migration.
Convert Selection to Operon Tasks: turns several selected lines into tasks at once. See Create tasks from selected text.

Find and move

Task Finder: search and jump to any task across the vault. See Task Finder.
Move an inline task here: picks a task with Task Finder and moves it to the current cursor line.
Add Task Wikilink Overlay: picks a task with Task Finder and inserts a link to it at the cursor, which renders as a Task Wikilink Overlay.

State and time

Toggle task completion: completes or reopens the task at the cursor.
Start/stop time tracker: starts or stops the timer on the task at the cursor. See Time tracking.

Open views and table embeds

Operon Filter View: filtered, saved task lists. See Filter View.
Operon Calendar: scheduled and timed tasks on a calendar. See Calendar overview.
Operon Kanban: tasks as cards in workflow columns. See Kanban overview.
Operon Table: tasks as rows and columns, like a spreadsheet. See Table overview.
Insert Operon Table embed: inserts the default Table preset's operon-table code block at the cursor in the active Markdown editor, or replaces the current selection. See Embed a table in a note.
Toggle Pinned Tasks dock / Open Pinned Tasks: the floating dock or the side panel of pinned tasks. See Pinned Task Dock.
Open Time Session History panel: review and edit tracked sessions. See Time session history.
Open FlowTime panel: start a focused work session. See FlowTime focus sessions.

Maintenance

Rebuild full index: re-scans the vault for tasks. Use it when tasks are missing or a file was edited outside Obsidian. See Missing tasks.
Reload Operon settings from storage: reloads Operon settings from disk.
Show index stats: a quick count of total, open, due-today, and overdue tasks.
Open duplicate operonId manager: resolves tasks that share the same operonId. See Duplicate IDs.
Repair Task Wikilink Overlay Links: scans the vault and repairs stale inline [[File#-operonId]] links so their overlays resolve again. See Task Wikilink Overlay.
Update External Calendars: refreshes configured external calendar sources. See External calendars.
