Obsidian Quick Select
Pick any item in any Obsidian list with Mod + number. No arrow keys, no mouse.
How it works
- Open any picker: the quick switcher, command palette, search, a tag or link suggestion, or a slash command.
- Hold Mod. The first nine items are numbered.
- Press Mod + a number to choose that item.
Mod is Command on macOS and Ctrl on Windows and Linux. You can change it in the settings.
