Support for key remapping in vim mode

[mdeez]

As someone that doesn’t use the qwerty keyboard layout (I use colemak) I rely heavily on remapping keys (especially when using something with vim bindings). For me it’d be a game changer to be able to do something like the following from my vim config.

    nnoremap n j|xnoremap n j|onoremap n j|
    nnoremap e k|xnoremap e k|onoremap e k|
    nnoremap i l|xnoremap i l|onoremap i l|
    nnoremap u i|xnoremap u i|onoremap u i|

If there’s some way to accomplish this currently I’d appreciate a pointer on how to do this

Would love to have this. Switching my H and I keys would be so incredibly nice.

Support loading Vim commands from configuration (vimrc-style)

Obsidian’s Vim features are quite powerful, and in some cases more capable than one could imagine. I can map both simple and complex key mappings and even record macros for some really useful stuff (e.g. “jump to next Markdown headline”). However, all these things are non-persistent. AFAIK there’s no way to load my favorite mappings and macros from file on startup, and I need to redo them every time I launch Obsidian. It would really be a useful if Obsidian could load a simple .vimrc-like file…

I’d like this as well, if only to remap the ESC key to something more reasonable. I’m surprised it’s not already in Codemirror, as key remapping is such a common modification in Vim. I know about the config file, of course, but nnoremap does nothing, either via the file or in ex mode in Obsidian.
