A plugin that adds Vim features missing from Obsidian's built-in Vim mode
Features
| Feature | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Vim surround | Adds ys, ds, cs, and visual-mode S for adding, deleting, and changing surrounding characters. Supports brackets, quotes, and the usual aliases (b, B, r). |
| Multi-cursor motions | When more than one cursor is active in normal mode, the motions h j k l w W b B e E $ ^ run per cursor. Escape collapses back to the main cursor. |
Mod-D |
Empty selection → select the word under the cursor (viw). Non-empty selection → find the next occurrence and add a cursor there. Wraps to the top of the file when there are no more matches below. Toggleable in settings. |
scrolloff |
Keeps N lines of context above and below the cursor, like Vim's scrolloff option. Configurable in settings. |
| System clipboard register | Mirrors yanks and puts to the OS clipboard via the unnamed (") register, and re-syncs on window focus. Toggleable in settings. |
o |
Open a new line while preserving Markdown list continuation. The built-in Vim o breaks lists; this one keeps the bullet/number going. |
gd |
Open the internal link under the cursor. |
gx |
Open the external URL under the cursor in a new browser tab. |
[!IMPORTANT]
Mod-Drequires you to disable Obsidian's built-in hotkey first. Go to Settings → Hotkeys, search for the command currently bound toMod-D, and unbind it. Otherwise Obsidian intercepts the key before this plugin can see it.
