As asked here - How do you bind hotkeys to cursor movement?

Use case or problem

I navigate using cmd+ijkl in Emacs and vscode, and would like to do so in Obsidian also. My down arrow key doesn’t work very well.

Proposed solution

Expose cursor movement commands so can bind keys to them.

Could follow vscode conventions for command names - eg

cursorDown, cursorRight, cursorWordLeft, cursorPageEnd, cursorTop, etc.

search ‘cursor’ in Keyboard Shortcuts for all of them.

If stuck and a Mac user:

  • CTRL p = up
  • CTRL n = down
  • CTRL b = left
  • CTRL f = right

Would very much like this too. CTRL + p/n/b/f is no good for me.

There’s now a plugin called Code Editor Shortcuts made by Tim Hor in Community Plugins that allow you to bind hotkeys for cursor navigation commands.

I still agree that this should be a base feature in Obsidian, however.
