Keyboard hotkey to select current sentence (not line)

If Obsidian “local/in-pane” search-bar supported regular expressions as the “global” search-pane does (/enclosed between slashes/), then it might be easy to create AutoHotkey function that triggers search bar, pastes appropriate regex, selects the sentence and optionally hides search-bar.

Plugins (e.g. the “Text Transporter”) might be able to implement sentence selection via regex alone, without waiting for implementing regex support in search-bar.

current workaround:

  • Open in default app
    • issue: repeated switching between Obsidian and other app that supports the command does not lead to efficient workflow.
