Obsidian consistently freezes on note switch/create after ~15+ minutes idle

[aaronbell]

Steps to reproduce

Start Obsidian. (Use note switch once?) Switch windows(?)/do something else for thirty minutes.

This issue’s related Obsidian freezing after being left idle - Bug graveyard - Obsidian Forum, but my issue applies to just note switching mode, when you press ctrl-o.

Expected result

To be able to immediately switch to another note.

Actual result

Note switch view accepts no input, yet the cursor blinks. It shows a list of notes, but it’s unresponsive. (I’ve restarted my computer thinking my keyboard driver effed up, but I can type in other places.)

Quick switcher broken in 0.9.2

I figured it out! There is an incompatibility with NZXT CAM, a system monitor that runs in the background. That app has a hotkey for an overlay of Ctrl-O; even when changing that hotkey to another set of keys the problem persists in Obsidian. If I quit NZXT CAM, or set the hotkey to null, then the Obsidian Quick Switcher works fine. This bug can be closed, as it appears to originate entirely from another app.
