for workaround of wrong operatoin, I use some commands without shortcut key. so, I use command palette, and need to move right hand for taking a command.

ctrl+j: move down in command palette
ctrl+k: move up in commadn palette
enter: to use the command
ctrl+[: dismiss

I didn’t know I wanted this!

In a obsidian, I hope to any operation without mouse, with arrow keys a little.
I imagine my operations for vim-mode, and know others imagine them for emacs-mode.
so, It would be imagined what hot-key is changed to.

I was about to make a separate post, but I think I can tag it here cos it seems similar.

I’ve wanted to have ctrl+j/k in the popup for link suggestions in addition to the palette. It’s pretty standard in Vim, Spacemacs and VSCodeVim as well.

So I guess it’s a related feature request? Enter and ctrl+[ work the same way too.

I really hope this feature will come soon. I use CTRL-J and CTRL-K everywhere I can to scroll in suggestions.

Fully agree. Probably should be customized depending on your preferences (Emacs style or vim style).

Personally, I always try Ctrl-J and Ctrl-K every time I open the command palette, before realizing I cannot do that.
