Hotkey for navigation within command palette and quick switcher

[koKekkoh]

1. Have you searched for an existing request?

like this:

Emacs-style (C-n / C-p) navigation within command palette

I’m curious which OS you’re on. I forget how I did it exactly, but I’ve enable limited emacs keybindings globally on macOS. So C-n and C-p work for cycling through the command-palette. Also C-a and C-e to jump to the start and end of the line are very handy

2. Use case or problem

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.

3. Proposed solution

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

with these shotcut key, I’m sure to feel so happy.
my hands, too.

4. Current workaround (optional)

move my right hand to arrow keys.

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.
