Floating the window/editor ontop of other apps #320

I couldn't find this being discussed, but it would be great if there was an option to allow the hover editor to float on top of other apps. I.e a floating editor on top of a web browser/ other apps. Similar to how apple notes can be kept on top to take notes.

I think this is achievable with tweaking electron settings to make it float (https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-electron-window-tweaker). However, the other extension floats the entire obsidian app (and you need to dig into the settings everything time you want to toggle it on/off), I also would want to selectively only float the hover editor.

I'll give it a shot to implement this if this hasn't been worked on before.

Somethings I noticed

  • The floating editor can't leave obsidian/ so I'm assuming it's like a pseudo window. So perhaps, only floating the popover/hover editor using electron window settings might not work?
