✌️⌨️ 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 up or Add caret cursor down do
• If you have internal plugin Quick Switcher enabled, 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!
