VIM Mode

Help
3

Hi, thanks for the quick reply!

  1. I get your point, but for me it’s worse that you are in insert mode in the title (which I’d like to keep) and after pressing enter, you are suddenly in normal mode. TBH I rarely use vim itself, I usually use window applications with vim mode (like intellij), where you do use the mouse a bit more and also usually use the clipboard from the system, and not yanks. But that’s why I thought it should be configurable.

  2. Again, I get your point in terms of vim compatibility, but we should also consider that obsidian is used differently than vim (I’d say). Probably one could use the keyboard for that, but I use the mouse to open files, click in the place where I want to add a note and then don’t want to press i every time. I love though that while typing, I can press escape and then do selections or other things, using the keyboard. But that is probably also connected to my content, I do lots of tasks lists, or lists with some things to remember. Again, that’s why I thought it should be a config option.

  3. I did a search before, but I didn’t search for “vim o” as I expected a lot of wrong matches (being used to confluence search), but actually that gave me some existing feature requests and also a workaround:

Will try them tomorrow.
