### Use case or problem I want to quickly navigate between specific parts of a document(s) using only keyboard. Right now quick switcher allows only to switch to another document and it isn’t possible to pick which part of a document I could go. ### Proposed solution Open quick switcher: Type # - it should list all headers (similar when you create backlinks) in current document, using up/down arrow keys highlight header from the list (or type it’s name) hit enter to scroll to it or hit ctrl + enter to open current document in another panel with header you selected in focus. Type ^ - same thing as above but instead headers it should display blocks in current document. Start typing something - it should show you other documents (just like it does now) use arrow keys to highlight it then hit # or ^ (or just type filename# or filename^) now it should show you a list of headers/blocks, choose one you want to go. Hitting enter should open selected document with header/block in focus in current panel, ctrl + enter should open selected document with header/block in a new panel. Basically it’s enhancing quick switcher with some features from backlink creation. An example, I have two documents. One is named “Lorem” and it has 100 headers named Header1 to Header100, second document is named “Ipsum” and it has headers named HeaderA to HeaderZ. I opened a Lorem document and I would like to go to Header89 to do some edits. So I open quick switcher type #Header89 and I’m instantly moved to the Header89. Now I would like to edit HeaderM header in Ipsum file so I open quick switcher and type Ipsum#HeaderM, now the file Ipsum is opened in current panel with HeaderM in focus. After editing HeaderM I want to come back to the top of the Lorem file so in quick switcher I type Lorem hit enter and I’m at the beginning of the Lorem document. ---

### Current workaround - Use “Search current file” to navigate desired location within file. This shows matches one at the time unlike presenting overview of matches on one screen. ### Related feature requests - [When link is pasted to quick switcher, then open it's target](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/when-link-is-pasted-to-quick-switcher-then-open-its-target/8658) ---

There is a [quick switcher plus](https://github.com/darlal/obsidian-switcher-plus) plugin which allows jump to the symbol (Heading, Link, Image, Tag) which could help. ---

+1 ❤ A Command Palette Action: “Quick switcher” which can be bound to a hotkey, would be a very helpful addition.
