Vim Custom

NOTE: Support for key remapping in vim mode - Feature requests - Obsidian Forum is a similar post to this, but I wanted to state it again as there has not been much response on that request

Use case or problem

I need to be able to remap keys in an easy file like vscodevim can in settings.json in vscode. That would be really helpful. I don’t want to use / can’t use other methods not made officially by Obsidian, and so would prefer Obsidian adding a feature for this!

Proposed solution

Make it so that there is a separate file in which there is an easy way to remap your keys. It would be better to use something like the “better” and “after” thing that happens in settings.json in vscode using vscodevim instead of having nmap.

Current workaround (optional)

I don’t use this cause it doesn’t work for me but you can download volcano from nodejs and add some plugin to it. Then you can create a file called .obsidian.vimrc or smthing and fill the file with the nmap things.
