If you know Javascript you could very easily write a plugin in Obsidian to do this. Just have the plugin replace any markdown with the Unicode equivalent on save.
Great question though, it’s actually making me wonder why this isn’t a thing in normal plain text editors!
On mobile it is the most visible object on the screen, and very annoying:
Yes, me too. I was pointing out that SL can be used without Proton Pass.
Proton provides a SimpleLogin account, which is integrated with Bitwarden, so you can get the same functionality directly with Bitwarden too.
Bitwarden also integrates SimpleLogin for one-click alias generation.
I’m in their ecosystem but specifically don’t use it, as it seems extraordinarily unsafe to put my passwords behind the same authentication that I use just to check my email.
To add onto what Andromxda said, SimpleLogin is included with your Proton account (might be paid accounts only).
Use it with a custom domain - it’s amazing and if Proton Mail ever shuts down you won’t have to migrate any of your logins because they’re already on your own domain.
It was for me. Been using Windows for 20 years, installed Aurora after all the MS craziness this year and haven’t looked back.
In my case it’s turned out to be a whole lot better - my laptop runs cooler, battery last about twice as long, and I no longer have any issues with going to sleep when I close the lid.
