This Obsidian plugin allows for scrolling in reading view with Vim-like keybindings. j and k for scrolling, as well as scrolling to top with gg and to bottom with G.

How to use

You can change the scroll speed in the plugin settings. The only requirement for the plugin to work is to be in reading view in Obsidian.

Idea behind the plugin

I edit all of my notes inside of Neovim and I found it quite annoying to have to switch to mouse when scrolling. I created this plugin to fix that problem.
