feat(prompt): peek at the note without cancelling a text prompt - #1688
Merged
Conversation
Text prompts can hide so the editor is usable again. The run stays pending, the draft stays, and a chip offers return, insert selection, or cancel. Closes the gap in #1679 without turning the modal into a popout window. Co-authored-by: Christian Bager Bach Houmann <[email protected]>

createOwnedElement only picks a document; the chip never appended its children, so Peek left an empty sliver. Obsidian's setIcon also replaced the Peek at note label. Append the chip tree and compose the icon in its own span so the real app matches the intended UX. Co-authored-by: Christian Bager Bach Houmann <[email protected]>
Peeking hands the editor back, so a workspace Escape scope fights Vim insert-to-normal. Return is the chip, the command, and Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+E. On a phone the chip and prompt actions go full-width above the home indicator and drop the keyboard hint. Co-authored-by: Christian Bager Bach Houmann <[email protected]>
A phone-width window is not Platform.isPhone, so the chip still mounted the Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+E line and it flashed during remount. Treat <=540px like a phone for that copy. Co-authored-by: Christian Bager Bach Houmann <[email protected]>

The stacked phone chip covered too much of the note, and closing the prompt for peek replayed Obsidian's modal animation so the dialog flashed as a squished pane. Use a one-line bar on narrow viewports and disable that animation for peek hide/show. Co-authored-by: Christian Bager Bach Houmann <[email protected]>
Stacked full-width pills made the modal taller than the space above the iOS keyboard, so Cancel was covered. Put Peek / Cancel / Ok on one row with the same squared radius as the peek chip.

Write the Peek section as shipped behavior instead of wrapping it in an "available in the next release" callout.
Cancel an existing peek before activating another so the first run cannot hang. Wait for in-flight image paste before closing. Offer Peek only when allowPeek is set (choice runs and the API), not on nested settings prompts.

…opt-in Redesign the peek-at-note mechanism after review: - Peek now hides the prompt modal (CSS class + popped keyboard scope) instead of close-and-reopen. The field, suggesters, image-paste handler, undo history, and selection survive the peek, which fixes the lost embed link when peeking during an in-flight image paste and removes the remount/didClose/animation-suppression machinery. onClose always settles waitForClose again. - Peek is opt-in via InputPromptOptions.allowPeek, set by choice-run prompts (completeFormatter) and the API text prompts. Settings and builder prompts no longer show "Peek at note" over another modal, and the wide prompt gained the same gate it was missing. - The chip's return scope is parented to app.scope so global hotkeys keep working during a peek; previously a parentless Scope swallowed them all. - Peeking a second prompt cancels the parked run (with a Notice) instead of orphaning its promise, which used to hang the first run forever, and returning is refused while another prompt modal is visible. - selectionchange listeners now cover popout-window documents, are debounced, and skip DOM writes when nothing changed; the preview regex runs on a bounded window of the selection. - Insert selection replaces the field's own selection range (a select-all draft is replaced, not prepended at index 0). - Ok comes before Peek in DOM/tab order; CSS `order` keeps the visual layout. Compact top-docked chip chrome is phone-only; narrow desktop windows keep the full chip and lose only the shortcut hint (CSS media). - Dedupe: shared promptShortcuts module (skip + peek chords, hint copy), shared getActiveEditorSelection util, removed the phase state machine, appendOwned, dead CSS rules, and the duplicated onClose peek branches.

Summary
Adds Peek at note on single-line and multi-line text prompts so you can read or select from the open note without cancelling the run. The prompt is hidden, not closed: the modal keeps its DOM, so the draft, undo history, field selection, suggesters, and any in-flight image paste survive the peek. A chip stays on screen until you return, and Return simply un-hides the same modal. Peek is opt-in via
InputPromptOptions.allowPeek, set for choice-run prompts and the API text prompts - never for settings/builder prompts.Fixes #1679
Design
