Bug graveyard
,
1

Steps to reproduce

Use the default keyboard shortcuts:
Ctrl + Alt + Left Arrow / Ctrl + Alt + Right Arrow

Expected result

To move back and forward through my notes.

Actual result

This menu opens:

Environment

  • Operating system: Ubuntu 20.04
  • Obsidian version: 0.8.0

Additional information

This bug happens regardless of me changing keyboard layouts (found a thread where it was advised to switch to “us” layout). My current workaround was to rebind it to Ctrl + Alt + J / Ctrl + Alt + K

Forgot to mention that i use the .appimage version.

I can’t repro. Is it possible that Ctrl + Alt + Left Arrow / Ctrl + Alt + Right Arrow are mapped bu default in linux to something else?

3

As far as i can tell no. Ctrl + Alt + Up / Ctrl + Alt + Down seem to switch workspaces, but the left / right arrows don’t do anything.

I tried disabling all of my Gnome extensions and even with all of them disabled problem persists.

It is not a huge bug, my workaround keybinding is satisfactory.

I’ve the same issue on Linux Debian 10, workaround by changing the shortcut
Obsidian v.0.12.12 (installer version v.0.12.10)

5

the default shortcuts for back and forward are alt - < and alt - >.
