Description

Category: Customization & UI

The Leader Hotkeys plugin introduces a leader key functionality to Obsidian, enabling users to assign hotkeys that require an initial leader key press before executing a command. This feature is inspired by similar mechanisms in tools like Vim and tmux. Users can configure any key combination as a leader key and create shortcuts for focusing panes or performing other actions, including those from third-party plugins. The plugin provides a streamlined way to navigate and execute commands within Obsidian, offering enhanced customization and efficiency.

Leader Hotkeys for Obsidian

Note: The 0.2.0 release will require reconfiguring your hotkeys. The configuration is now greatly revamped and significantly more useful. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Use a leader key when assigning a hotkey to a command. Works with any command in Obsidian, even those added by other plugins!

The leader key is pressed before the assigned hotkey, similar to hotkeys in tmux or Vim.

By default there is no leader key defined. I personally use ctrl+b, however you can configure any leader key in the Obsidian Hotkeys settings page, just like any other hotkey.

By default the following commands are configured:

Leader Hotkey Action
leader j Focus on pane below
leader k Focus on pane above
leader h Focus on pane to the left
leader l Focus on pane to the right
