Use case or problem
I use Obsidian Bases for lightweight data tracking, but I’m missing the ability to fully interact with Bases using only the keyboard. Currently, I can’t navigate between cells, open linked notes in cells, or edit cell values without using the mouse, which breaks the keyboard-driven workflow many of us rely on in Obsidian.
Proposed solution
Add full keyboard support for Bases , allowing users to:
- Navigate between cells using arrow keys or vim keys (hjkl).
- Open and edit a cell’s linked note with Enter or Cmd+Enter.
- Edit cell values inline with the keyboard without requiring a mouse click.
- Filter, sort, and interact with table controls using keyboard shortcuts.
This would allow Bases to feel as seamless and efficient as the rest of Obsidian for users who prefer keyboard-driven navigation.
Current workaround (optional)
Currently, I use the mouse for all navigation and editing within Bases. This disrupts flow and speed during note-taking and structured data tracking.
