Opening another vault with keyboard only?

[Felipe]

@samueldee

adding a shortcut to this service, in mac preferences > keyboard > shortcuts > services. This almost works - The shortcut works when I’m in Finder, or in Firefox, but not when I’m in Obsidian itself… so close… I suppose this is because Obsidian (Electron) ignores mac services.

Hello @samueldee!

Take a look at the plugin Shell Commands from the fantastic @jare.

• Shell commands plugin
• GitHub - Taitava/obsidian-shellcommands: Execute system commands via hotkeys or command palette in Obsidian (https://obsidian.md). Some automated events are also supported, and execution via URI links.

You can create a command to open this Obsidian URI and define a hotkey

• open “obsidian://open?vault=Notes”

This way you can open a vault inside Obsidian using the keyboard.

I hope it helps!
