The Reading View j/k Scroll plugin enhances navigation in Obsidian's reading mode by enabling Vim-style keybindings for scrolling. Users can move through notes using the `j` and `k` keys for smooth scrolling, while `gg` and `G` provide quick jumps to the top or bottom of the document. The plugin offers adjustable scroll speed, allowing users to customize their reading experience. Designed for those accustomed to Vim-like controls, it eliminates the need to switch to a mouse for navigation, improving efficiency for keyboard-focused workflows.
The Vertical Timeline List plugin allows you to visually represent timelines using specially formatted task lists. By placing a 't' inside task brackets and nesting dates with corresponding descriptions, you can create structured vertical timelines that display cleanly in Reading View. This format is ideal for capturing chronological events such as project milestones, historical notes, or personal journals. While it integrates well with the Tasks and Dataview plugins, there are some limitations in Live Preview and Dataview queries involving collapsible sections.
