  4. Type Ctrl + I

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N] Y

Expected result

No change in the editor.

Actual result

Typing Ctrl + I selects full content in the editor as if I type Ctrl + A.
I understand ctrl + A (selecting all text) is by the system (or chrome/electron), but don’t understand what is triggering the behavior when I type Ctrl + I .

It prevents to use ‘Ctrl + I’ as a leader key with leader hotkeys extension (GitHub - tgrosinger/leader-hotkeys-obsidian: Use a leader-key (tmux style) for hotkeys in Obsidian.md)

I have the same problem!
For me, CTRL + I is italic, but it’s lead to ctrl+A.

yes this comes from codemirror. I wonder if we should remove it or not. We’ll think about it.
