Zotero Integration
As someone that uses Zotero for capturing sources, this plugin lets me bring highlights into Obsidian easier.
I also use the markDBconnect Zotero plugin which links my Zotero item and Obsidian notes file.
For more information, have a look at this article.
Dataview
This is a plugin that is essential for those that want to do advanced query searches.
Combining queries together in a dashboard can make finding, sorting, and organizing projects and research far easier.

Metadata Menu
I like to manage my work from one place. This plugin lets me do that.
Changing file information like the priority or status can be done by pushing a button.
The popout window makes customization really easy.
Quick add
For those that like fast, quick, and convenient, this is a must-have plugin.
Personally, the template quick add is my favorite. Adding a project template file speeds up the capture process.
There are a variety of options.
Commander
Personally, having too many hotkeys is confusing. This removes that issue.
Each command can be added to a button anywhere in the workspace.
My most frequent use is my home dashboard button.
Workspace plus
Workspaces in Obsidian can change a lot when working.
Saving a layout to go back to reduces the worry of moving things while working.
A temporary workspace is helpful when needing a ‘checkpoint’ to go back to.
Quick Switcher ++
The default quick switcher does a great job but misses 1 main search, headings.
Large files often have sections I want to focus my work on. Heading search helps me find them.
There are other search options on top of this.
Quiet Outline
Alongside the quick switcher ++ this searches for headings.
It also focuses on the heading you are currently reading in a file.
This makes file navigation easier while working.
Supercharged Links
For my dashboard, having a color code makes viewing easier at a glance.
Seeing the color in search also makes focusing easier.
A small but significant help when searching.
Style Settings
Customizing the look of supercharged links is my main reason for this plugin.
The color and emoji options add to the improvement of focused searches.
This is a plugin that goes beyond the supercharged links, and assists will many other aesthetics.
