Shortcut everything with one key...

Shortcut everything with one key...

Jan 19, 2024

This is one of my plugin ideas for Obsidian in the Obsidian-Forum.


I would like to be able to use Obsidian exclusively with the keyboard. For me, this is the most efficient and pleasant form of operation when working with texts. I find that switching back and forth between keyboard and mouse disturbs the flow of my work and thoughts.

There are some shortcuts, but they often require the Control key to be pressed. From an ergonomic point of view, I don't find this ideal or comfortable, as you have to spread your fingers apart.

Actually, the additional Control key is only necessary if a text input field has the focus. That's why I suggest using the Escape key to remove the focus in order to access the SHORTCUT MODE.

The I or Insert key resets the focus as it was before. Of course, this could also be done with a mouse click.

In the following, I have put together suggestions for the shortcuts, which I have selected according to the principles of efficiency, ergonomics and easy to remember.

I thought it was necessary to write this down so extensively because it all has to fit together...
