Meta Post - Hotkeys

Feature requests
#2

Consolidating into a single “hotkey” thread is a good idea. I was thinking of doing the same thing! I was wondering though if it makes things easier, or, harder for the mods, from a request tracking perspective (@Licat maybe)?

I have a few more hotkey request:

  1. Shortcut to open the File Explorer
  2. Shortcut to navigate to link under cursor in new window when in edit mode
  3. Shortcut to open preview in a new linked window

There’s probably more, these come to mind as immediate frustrations (for me :laughing:). I like to stay on home row :grinning:

I just created feature requests for current date/time and hotkeys for confirmation modals.

@lizardmenfromspace Could you add to replace the two star/unstar hotkeys to one toggle hotkey?

#5

@sam.baron not sure which ones you are referring to. In the feature requests home page you can highlight a topic post, ctrl-copy, then ctrl-paste in here and it will paste it as a link. Thanks!

Unless you just wanted added to the list without a link to its own page :thinking:

@lizardmenfromspace I was referring to updating your original post since I thought you were aggregating hotkey requests, but nevermind, the star/unstar hotkey was updated in the last release.

I’d like to have a global hotkey within Windows so that I can create a note or search for a note using a hotkey from any application. For example, with my Evernote-client I do Win+N to automatically create a new Evernote-note with any application in focus.

Global system-wide hotkeys for creating and searching Obsidian will help me to really make it my second brain.

There are already two other posts on this:

@lizardmenfromspace, should I post my suggestion here or create a new post about it and link to this post.

I really think that is a great ideia to aggregate all hotkeys in one place.

Styling shortcuts
(select text and hit shortcut to apply text styling)

bold (CMD + B)
italic (CMD + I)
url (CMD + K)
==highlight== ( no shortcut )
>code ( no shortcut )
$math$ ( no shortcut )

Would it be possible to get keyboard commands for the missing ones? Or is there a way to write new macros? CMD + SHIFT + H for highlight or something?
