How can I navigate the file explorer in Obsidian using the arrow keys?

[rigmarole]

Sorry, I don’t think there is currently a way. I know there are a few open feature request threads asking for keyboard navigation in the sidebar, in modals, and other areas of the UI.

I found these, but I think there are more as well.

Keyboard navigation on Nav tabs

Use case or problem When I search or browse a Vaut or browse a Stared file or browse a Tags I can only use a mouse and to see what is in each file I need to click on each link. It takes a lot of time. Proposed solution To implement keys : up and down arrow to travers up and down a list right to enter a branch left to close a branch enter to open an element (File, Tag, Link) Current workaround (optional) Use a mouse

Accessibility: Keyboard navigation and shortcuts for dialogs and pop-up modals

I would like to be able to interact with dialog/confirmation modals with hotkeys. For example, when I want to delete a note, and I get the confirmation, I want to use the keyboard to continue. Perhaps enter to continue and esc to cancel.
