Vim mode CTRL+D navigation is still broken on iPadOS

Continuing the discussion from [BUG] vim mode Ctrl-d navigation is broken:

The comment here says that this bug has been fixed in 0.15.3, however, I can still reproduce it on the latest iPadOS version (1.3.0, 0.15.6 API). It’s the exact same behavior.

If you are using a Mac keyboard, should it be cmd-d?

No. Vim uses the same modifier key (ctrl) on all platforms for this functionality.

The part which needs fixing is not deleting the character while scrolling half a page.

We can’t reproduce.

Which obsidian version are you using exactly?
Do you have anything below mapped to Ctrl d.

Does it happen in a fresh vault?

Yes, it happens in a fresh vault as well. I have no other bindings to ctrl-d or cmd-d.

Here is the About page from Obsidian:

Same issue here. Pressing ctrl+d moves the cursor down as expected but it also deletes the currently selected character.

I am having the same issue. I’m using the 2021 12.9" iPad pro with the magic keyboard with the latest iOS release. What additional info can I/we provide?

Same issue here. On my Mac Ctrl+D works (moves the cursor 0.5 pages down) in Obisidan. When I connect the same keyboard to the iPad, Ctrl+D deletes the current character and awaits next gesture. E.g. if I press “j” after Ctrl+D, it will delete the entire line.

Same here, on Windows 10, v1.1.9.

Confirming that CTRL+D navigation with vim plugin on iPadOS 16.3.1, Obsidian 1.4.3 is still broken.

Does it happen here https://codemirror-vim--util.repl.co/ on safari mobile?

I’m not sure if this is iPadOS-related, but sharing because I see a couple folks posting other OSes here.

Make sure to check your Hotkeys in settings.

Open settings, click Hotkeys, then search Hotkeys for ‘delete paragraph’. Make sure it is not set to use Ctrl-D as the hotkey. I specifically had to remove that hotkey to get my vim mode to scroll with Control/Ctrl-D in Obsidian v1.6.5 (on Linux).

Ignore this post if it does not apply to your OS though…

Same issue for me, seems to be the only feature I always use that doesn’t work, that is if I ignore the abhorrent fact that long pressing on some characters (like, say, ‘k’ :grinning:) shows up an accents dialog instead of repeating the key
