Obsidian: Create a hotkeys for commonly used notes

Obsidian+PR Cookbook - 𝕏 - YouTube - Official Obsidian Docs

If you use a particular note in Obsidian a lot then the effort typing its name every time you want to open can start to become depressing. Since defining hotkeys is a core part of Obsidian a tempting solution to this would be to define hotkeys for this.

A plugin for this is hotkeys for specific files. This has a user interface to create new commands for files like so:

With plugin repl, you can add the following text to your init file, `repl.md` and evaluate it.

newCommand(function open_test() {
   open("test.md")
})

There are a couple of advantages to this: there is a little less clicking, if you do this a few times you can copy-and-paste existing commands and adapt them.

Once you have defined and evaluated this command you can add a hot-key as above.

Interesting? The is a whole “Cookbook” here of similar Obsidian tricks. Also I am creating tool in Obsidian, some of it for automated reading. If you are interested maybe check out the blog.
