✌️⌨️ Double-Key commands
Double key commands are feature used in JetBrains IDEs, that are doing certain actions after specific key is pressed twice.
Now Keyshots has two double-key commands:
- Pressing and holding last key and then press ↑ or ↓ will
add caret cursor just like
Add caret cursor uporAdd caret cursor downdo - If you have internal plugin
Quick Switcherenabled, then this shortcut will open quick switcher window just like Ctrl + O does
If you do not like them, then you can disable them in settings.
🎛️ Settings
Adds ability to choose default hotkeys mappings by IDEs presets. You can also configure behavior of some commands.
You can choose from these IDEs presets:
- Clear (everything blank; set in default when keyshots are installed)
- Visual Studio Code
- JetBrains IDEs Family (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, ... )
- Microsoft Visual Studio
- Keyshots default hotkeys mappings
You can change it also via modal window inside obsidian that you can open with command "Change Keyshots preset" with Ctrl + Shift + P shortcut.
⚠️ Possible conflicts:
Some IDE commands have hotkey, that is already set to another Obsidian action and that results into conflict.
Here is list of all possible conflicts:
| Hotkey | Visual Studio Code | JetBrains IDEs | Microsoft Visual Studio | Obsidian Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ctrl + L | Expand line selections | Toggle checkbox status | ||
| Ctrl + Enter | Insert line below | Insert line above | Open link under cursor in new tab | |
| Ctrl + W | Expand line selections | Close current tab | ||
| Ctrl + Alt + Enter | Insert line above | Open link under cursor to the right |
My conflicts handling
For default Keyshots mappings I will take care of all conflicts with Obsidian hotkeys. However, mind that I can take care of obsidian hotkeys only meaning that plugins hotkeys are irrelevant and impossible to handle due to unlimited plugin amount.
Also, obsidian team recommends to don't set default hotkeys for commands and that is why Keyshots installs with "clear" preset!
