Welcome to the Keyshots wiki!

This wiki will be mainly developed to describe actions, their hotkey/s and how they behave, together with additional features.

Warning

This wiki is still under development. Before this message disappears, it is possible that not all information will be available.

What is Keyshots?

Is an Obsidian plugin, that adds actions from IDEs (Integrated Development Environments) like Visual Studio Code, or JetBrains Family. It supercharges your note-taking workflow with developer-grade shortcuts - move lines, duplicate selections, format text, and more - making writing as fast and fluid as coding. It allows to select a Preset of an IDE that you use to assign shortcuts according to what you use for developing things.

If you are not a developer, do not worry. I prepared Keyshots preset to start with.

Installation

Since the plugin was approved in community plugins browser, you can either install it through that:

  1. Go to Settings โ†’ Community plugins (turn off Restricted mode if it's on) โ†’ Browse
  2. Type "Keyshots" and click the card representing plugin
  3. Install, then enable

Or install it manually:

  1. Go to latest Keyshots release
  2. Download the keyshots-<version>.zip file
  3. Extract it to your vault's folder your_vault/.obsidian/plugins/
  4. Reload obsidian plugins list in Settings โ†’ Community plugins or close and reopen Obsidian
  5. Find "Keyshots" and enable

Important

In both cases Keyshots install with no Preset selected. This is due to Obsidian plugin development guidelines.

To select preset, go to Settings โ†’ Keyshots -> IDE Keys Mappings

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any problem/bug during usage, please submit an issue here using proper type of form.
