Has anyone tried implementing emacs-style cut/yank in a plug-in? Seems like it would only require ops ‘copy paragraph to clipboard’, ‘cut paragraph’, and ‘paste’ - are these not possible?

i’m using inkdrop and pay for it because obsidian doesn’t. I’d definitely switch if it did
Brand new Obsidian user & longtime Emacs user. Definitely interested in something like this! Currently unbinding hotkeys that are mapped to things that I just can’t shake (C-p, C-n, etc). Being able to Mark + highlight, yank/paste would be amazing.

It doesn’t seem like it. If I don’t hear any progress in the next couple months, I will most likely take this challenge on this summer as a community plugin.

I have created a plugin called Kill and yank, which was recently approved and is now available as a community plugin, if you would like to use it.

+1 yet another emacs user who spends too much time undo’ing the negative effects of typing emacs bindings while in obsidian. Note - this browser seems to support more bindings than obsidian given how much correction was needed to type this…
+1 yup. If vscode can do it, then obsidian can do it too. Until then, I’ll probably have to stay in emacs org-mode.
Thanks. It’s a start.
I’ve been attempting to get Emacs bindings to work in Obsidian as well.
The Leader Hotkeys plugin works perfectly for prefix keys, but the Emacs Text Editor plugin can’t repeat Ctrl-F/B/N/P, and the Emacs Keymap plugin doesn’t work at all.
See also Klojer/obsidian-emacs-text-editor#2 and dsedivec/obsidian-emacs#1 (issues on GitHub).
Obsidian Emacs Bindings seems like the most promising plugin for this purpose.
