May as well give this one a bump again!

Using the mouse is like using folders, so far that its old fashioned an user should need to so it if they donā€™t want to.

Yes - please make Obsidian keyboard 100%

I started work on this sort of plugin. It adds keyboard nav support for the version sync page (up/down/left/right). Next up is settings page, but not sure when Iā€™m going to build it. Contributions are welcome! Itā€™s a beta plugin, so use BRAT, which is linked to in the README.

Obsidian Custom Nav Plugin

Note that itā€™s inherently fragile because it interacts with the DOM. But Iā€™ve tested the functionality and it seems to work well.

Iā€™m so sick of obsidian because wdym itā€™s not completely navigatible with keyboard? Even the cheapest, less thought on, unpopular apps have it. Considering how thereā€™s so many programmers in the obsidian community, I donā€™t know why havenā€™t we done a real Open Source note taking app that ACTUALLY gets developed by the people using it??

+1000 Iā€™m new to Obsidian and, one of the reasons I choose it over other options was that I had the impression that the software prioritized users who are a bit more interested into becoming really into the tool. That said, Iā€™m enjoying Obsidian, but Iā€™m a bit frustrated that it doesnā€™t have any support to navigating in the configurations using the keyboard. Iā€™m using Vim mode, and having to use the mouse only to click on any of the configurationsā€™ items is a big down. I hope they implement it (considering this FR is open since 2022).

A tease

I love the application and love the visualizations and clustering but I would think that as an editor that it would support keyboard navigation as itā€™s primary method in all its views. I made a forum account just to express how disappointed I am to find this thread while looking for a way to navigate the settings using my keyboard.
