Sequence Hotkeys

Set hotkeys with key sequences instead of a single chord.

  • Overview
  • Scorecard
  • Updates13

This plugin allows you to use a sequences of chords for shortcuts instead of single chords.

NOTE: I don't use Obsidian so much anymore, so I probably won't be working on the repo much going forward.

Creating a hotkey

You can modify your hotkeys under Plugin Options > Sequence Hotkeys or Options > Community plugings > Sequence Hotkeys > Options.

You can use the search bar to filter the commands. Searches are done using space separated values separately, for example "ex co" will find a command with the description Example Command or Copy Text.

To create a hotkey for a command click the set hotkey button on the right-hand side. The hotkey component will display "Press hotkey...". Type the chords you want to use and complete the input by pressing Enter (⏎) or clicking the ✓ button. Pressing Escape (⎋) or closing the settings window will cancel the hotkey creation. To use ⏎ or ⎋ in your hotkey sequence, click on the + button and select one to add to the sequence.

Known Issues

  • If you have hotkey set in the default hotkeys, for example ⌘F, and you set a shortcut in the plugin using ⌘F ⌘W, for example, the plugin shortcut won't trigger.
  • Doesn't support the use of different keyboard layouts, like Dvorak.

About
Assign sequence-based hotkeys by chaining multiple chord inputs to trigger any Obsidian command. Search and manage sequences in the plugin options, include Enter or Escape in a sequence, and note sequences can conflict with default single-chord hotkeys and don't support alternate keyboard layouts.
