vim-wikilink-nav

Obsidian plugin. When the [[ wikilink ]] suggestion popup is open, Ctrl+N and Ctrl+P move the selection, and Enter or Ctrl+Enter accepts it. Same idea as scrolling completions in vim.

Scope is intentionally narrow. It only touches the wikilink popup. Quick Switcher, Command Palette, tag suggestions are untouched.

Why

Obsidian's wikilink popup uses arrow keys. I use vim mode in Obsidian. Reaching for arrows every time I typed [[ got old fast. Couldn't find an existing plugin that did just this without trying to remap the whole app, so I wrote it.

Install

If it's been approved into the Community Plugins list, install it from there.

Otherwise, copy manifest.json and main.js into .obsidian/plugins/vim-wikilink-nav/ and enable the plugin in Settings.

Notes

  • Desktop only (Windows / Linux). I don't have a Mac to test Cmd bindings. PR welcome if you do.
  • Requires Obsidian 1.4.0 or newer.
  • Global Ctrl+N (New note) is suppressed while the popup is open and restored when it closes. If a new note appears when you didn't ask for one, that's a bug, please open an issue.
  • The plugin works by reading .suggestion-container / .suggestion-item DOM classes. If Obsidian changes these in a future version it will silently break. Fix is a one-line selector swap.
