Editor previews (colour swatches, arrows, embeds), the 18 obsidian-basics tasks (find and replace with regex, back/forward, auto-pair, footnotes, folding, search operators, split view, PDF/audio/ video embeds, spelling, drag and drop, pinned tabs, settings) and round 2: ```query blocks, stacked tabs, pop-out windows, tasks ticked inside embeds, text around an embed, embeds that follow edits, block menu shortcut. New crates: notescraft-regex (linear-time engine) and notescraft-syntax. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

TOP 20 gaps for a daily user, most valuable first
- Find and replace in note (GUI) — S (edit over a buffer byte range exists; dialog + highlight loop)
- Back/forward navigation history (Cmd-[/]) — S (stack of open/scroll positions)
- Hover page preview on links — M (offscreen render of target already exists for snapshots)
- Split panes (side-by-side notes) — L (tab area becomes a pane list with per-pane render)
- Heading folding by click in visual/source mode — S (fold model exists for callouts/vim)
- Explorer drag-and-drop to move files — M (DnD payload exists; needs drop targets +
note.rename) - Explorer sort orders (modified/created/reverse) — S (
tree.rs sort_tree+ setting) - Footnote rendering (and inline
^[..]) — M (scanner + renderer + jump) - Auto-pair brackets/quotes + smart quotes — S (key handling in
editor/keys.rs) - Search-and-replace across vault — M (per-note replace via buffer edits, review UI exists from batch)
- Regex search — S (one dependency decision, wire into query parser)
- Quick switcher heading/block search — S (autocomplete data already indexed)
- Pinned tabs + tab drag reorder — S/M (tab strip already custom-drawn)
- Default view mode for new tabs / open in reading mode — S (per-tab toggle exists)
- Spellcheck — L (new dependency or in-house dictionary; ROADMAP blocks on owner)
- Line numbers + readable line length + font size setting — S each (editor opts already take font_size)
- Open in default app + copy obsidian URL — S each
- Outgoing links pane — S (
links.outgoingcommand already returns data) - Embedded PDF page rendering — L (pdf viewer; note there is already a
pdfexport crate) - Audio/video embed playback — M (audio sink exists for UI sounds; egui video is real work)
