If you want to change a hotkey but don't know the name of it, the hotkeys settings page lets you find a hotkey based on the keystrokes. Whenever you find friction in doing something or are doing something frequently, try to consider whether you want to make a hotkey for it to make it easier (ex. opening a specific pane on the [[Obsidian Layout#Sidebars]]) > [!TIP] Train yourself > When you run a command with [[Command Palette]] that has a hotkey, train yourself to close the palette and use the hotkey instead. > If you find it hard to stick, you can consider changing the hotkey to something that is more accessible or makes more sense to you 😊 ## My Hotkeys Just some of the hotkeys I frequent, my mappings are weird though so change them to what makes most sense for you ;) ### My hotkeys *Written with Windows shortcuts in mind* - `Ctrl+,` Open settings - `Ctrl+O` Open [[Creating and modifying notes|Quick Switcher]] - Used for searching note titles and creating notes - `Ctrl+P` Open command palette - Run any command in Obsidian - `Ctrl+W` Close active pane - `Ctrl+Y` Bookmark - `Ctrl+Shift+Y` Show [[Obsidian Bookmarks]] pane - `Ctrl+Shift+P` Run [[QuickAdd Plugin]] - For creating new notes of a certain type - `Command+Ctrl+T` [[Template Explanations#Addons]] - `Ctrl+Shift+R` Split vertically - Opens new pane to open new note - `Ctrl+Shift+B` Show backlinks pane (sidebar) - `Ctrl+Alt+Backspace` Delete file - `Ctrl+Shift+F` Search all files - `Ctrl+Shift+-` Manage workspaces ^ec631a - `Ctrl+Shift+⬅️` Toggle left sidebar - `Ctrl+Shift+➡️` Toggle right sidebar - `Ctrl+Shift+,` Fold all headings and blocks - `Ctrl+Shift+.` Unfold all headings and blocks - `Alt+a` Navigate back in pane history - `Alt+s` Navigate forwards in pane history
