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
