Space Command Palette is a desktop Obsidian plugin that combines a context-aware command palette with a customizable radial menu. Create separate command sets for every saved Obsidian Workspace and open the actions you need directly beside the cursor.
Requires Obsidian 1.13.0 or newer. Desktop only.
Open the pie menu with a hotkey, point at a sector, and click to run its command. The menu supports:
- Obsidian core and community-plugin commands;
- nested command folders displayed as a second ring;
- searchable Lucide and Obsidian icons;
- individual sector colors;
- single-press or double-press activation;
- opening animation and optional navigation sounds.
Each saved Workspace can have its own classic command palette and radial menu. A writing layout, project dashboard, reading workspace, or knowledge base can therefore expose a different set of actions without filling one global command list.
When a Workspace has no custom radial configuration, Space Command Palette uses the global menu. When no contextual palette is configured, the standard Obsidian command palette remains available.
The settings screen includes an interactive radial-menu preview and tools to:
- add, remove, reorder, and group commands;
- configure independent menus for saved Workspaces;
- assign custom Workspace icons shown in the status bar;
- rename or delete Workspaces from a context menu;
- import or export the complete configuration as JSON.
- Open Settings → Community plugins → Browse.
- Search for Space Command Palette.
- Install and enable the plugin.
- Enable Obsidian's built-in Workspaces plugin.
Download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from the latest GitHub release. Place them in:
<vault>/.obsidian/plugins/space-command-palette/
Restart Obsidian and enable Space Command Palette under Community plugins.
- Save at least one layout with Obsidian Workspaces.
- Open Settings → Space Command Palette.
- Choose the global menu or a specific Workspace.
- Configure palette commands, radial sectors, folders, icons, and colors.
- Assign hotkeys to Open active Workspace palette and Open active Workspace radial menu in Obsidian's Hotkeys settings.
Space Command Palette works locally, contains no telemetry, and makes no network requests. Plugin settings are stored in .obsidian/plugins/space-command-palette/data.json; note content is never modified.
Renaming or deleting a Workspace from the plugin's context menu also updates the saved Workspace in Obsidian. Settings from Space Command Palette 0.1.x are migrated automatically.
