Some useful custom hotkeys for Obsidian
Obsidian++ Cookbook - 𝕏 - YouTube - Official Obsidian Docs
The shortcuts / keybindings / hotkeys that you use in Obsidian will be highly personal, but there are some common features of Obsidian that you might want shortcuts for.
This is what I do.
I use the Alt key for my keybindings because the Ctrl/Cmd key is already used for a lot of Obsidian’s built in functionality. Then I have the following generally useful tools.
Alt-D: Jump to my daily note
Alt-S: To open the settings for a particular plugin using Mara Li’s Open Plugin Settings plugin
You can tell that these set of bindings are very much an “Obsidian tweakers” key-binding. But it’s okay to have a spell of tweaking when you start doing something new.
Another important binding I have is Ctrl-Alt-N to open my obsidian vault window from anywhere using the Tray Plugin.
