Double key commands are feature used in JetBrains IDEs, that are doing certain actions after specific key is pressed twice.
Now Keyshots has two double-key commands:
- Ctrl - Pressing and holding last key and then press ↑ or ↓ will
add caret cursor just like
Add caret cursor uporAdd caret cursor downdo - Shift - If you have internal plugin
Quick Switcherenabled, then this shortcut will open quick switcher window just like Ctrl + O does
If you do not like them, then you can disable them in settings.
Adds ability to choose default hotkeys mappings by IDEs presets. You can also configure behavior of some commands.
You can choose from these IDEs presets:
- Clear (everything blank; set in default when keyshots are installed)
- Visual Studio Code
- JetBrains IDEs Family (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, ... )
- Microsoft Visual Studio
- Keyshots default hotkeys mappings
You can change it also via modal window inside obsidian that you can open with command "Change Keyshots preset" with Ctrl + Shift + P shortcut.
Some IDE commands have hotkey, that is already set to another Obsidian action and that results into conflict.
Here is list of all possible conflicts:
| Hotkey | Visual Studio Code | JetBrains IDEs | Microsoft Visual Studio | Obsidian Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ctrl + L | Expand line selections | Toggle checkbox status | ||
| Ctrl + Enter | Insert line below | Insert line above | Open link under cursor in new tab | |
| Ctrl + W | Expand line selections | Close current tab | ||
| Ctrl + Alt + Enter | Insert line above | Open link under cursor to the right |
For default Keyshots mappings I will take care of all conflicts with Obsidian hotkeys. However, mind that I can take care of obsidian hotkeys only meaning that plugins hotkeys are irrelevant and impossible to handle due to unlimited plugin amount.
Also, obsidian team recommends to don't set default hotkeys for commands and that is why Keyshots installs with "clear" preset!
Transform selections to UppercaseTransform selections to LowercaseTransform selections to TitlecaseSort selected lines by alphanumeric comparisonEncode / Decode URI selectionsToggle line numbersJoin selected linesSplit selections on new line
Now, Keyshots are able to pick from one of presets that you choose and use their's default hotkeys.
Available presets:
- Visual Studio Code
- Jetbrains IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, ...)
In new version I added keymaps of Visual Studio. From now you can change it in plugin settings!
Based on a recommendation by Obsidian Team, I added preset, that is set in default, which has no default Hotkeys.

- Now commands will not "glitch" text when performing undo/redo action on them
- Now all presets have full mappings for all actions (if specific IDE has it defaultly) - i have full map in README!
Multi-togglers are commands that are already in Obsidian, but they provide ability to perform actions with multiple selections.
For example Multi-toggle bold surrounds text like this **<text>** but with multiple selections anywhere in editor.
