Hotkeys > restore defaults

Use case or problem

Sometimes the user has changed many hotkeys and wants to restore the Obsidian native hotkey defaults without restoring other settings.

Proposed solution

Offer a “restore defaults” option in Options > Hotkeys.

You can use git and then inside .obsidian folder revert to a specified state

Thank you - that’s a good general solution. It would be nice to have a quick button which restores defaults in the interface though.

Maybe it goes without saying, but to reset to the default hotkeys, rename/move/delete the <VAULT-NAME>/.obsidian/hotkeys.json file and close-open the vault.

Obsidian will create a new file if any hotkey changes are made.
