Obsidian: All based around commands

Obsidian++ Cookbook - 𝕏 - YouTube - Official Docs

At it’s core Obsidian is a markdown editor with commands that get bound to hotkeys and plugins that can add commands (with the slight caveats that some of these commands can render HTML with javascript events!). This philosophy is quite similar to Emacs.

To run a command in Obsidian you can use the command palette that is usually run with Ctrl-P . This allows you to search for commands by their names and then run them.

If you use a command a lot of the time you can define a hotkey by going to the settings (you can get to them from the command palette! or ctrl-,) then if you find the the hotkeys section you can define keys. I find myself defining hotkeys quite a lot so I have defined a key binding to jump directly to hotkeys.

Sometimes it can be difficult to remember hotkeys or you can run of them. I use Sequence Hotkeys plugin for this. I then have precises like Alt-D for bindings related to learning Danish in Obsidian.
