When focusing the sidebar (via “Reveal active file in file explorer” hotkey), you are able to navigate up and down, using the up and down keys on your keyboard. I would really like to remap these, as they are hard to reach when my hands are resting naturally at the normal “asdf” row.
Proposed solution
Add 2 new hotkeys:
“Navigate sidebar up” moves the sidebar cursor up one row
“Navigate sidebar down” move the sidebar cursor down one row
I second the request. This was also described here:
File Explorer: Navigation Hotkeys https://forum.obsidian.md/t/file-explorer-navigation-hotkeys/
… but someone deemed the Quick Explorer to be sufficient
What I’m seeking is the ability to use e.g. CTRL+PgUp / CTRL+PgDwn to move up and down the file explorer without loosing focus from the contents of the document.
Just to give an example of a use case - I often catch myself going up and down a series of daily logs in search of a specific phrase or section - this can be done instantly with e.g. OneNote. Not the case with Obsidian currently (mouse clicks all the way ).
