I’m trying to make my Obsidian use a bit more efficient, and I’m still learning the product as a whole. What are some of your most-used/favorites?

I like to use my own custom ones:
Ctrl + [- Add internal link- This way I can highlight a word and make it into a note
- Or just to save time not typing brackets
Ctrl + Backspace- Toggle back links in document- So I can quickly see what other notes referenced the one I’m reading
Ctrl + 6- Footnote Shortcut- Quickly put a footnote and auto number it
- I choose 6 because of ^
Alt + /- Move line- I miss this so much when I’m typing in other programs
Alt + Shift + 1/2/3/4/5/6- Set as heading

<ctrl-O>- to open a note. The fuzzy finder makes this super fast, if you name your notes in a way you’ll remember later (SEO!).<ctrl-E>- switch between reader and edit mode (I almost always edit with external editor (Vim) any way, so I nearly always want the note in reader mode. In settings, you can make this the default)<ctrl-shift-v>- (custom binding) open current note in external editor

- ctrl+O is per default the quick finder. I changed it to the Omnisearch, because it also searched through text and synonyms

- quick switcher & command pallet
- ctrl+o & ctrl+p
- cycle bullet/check box

- alt+n
- change view mode
- read mode toggle = ctrl+e
- source mode toggle = ctrl+r
- changing tabs
- ctrl+pg up/pg down
- new tab
- ctrl+n
- close tab
- ctrl+w
- split view

I started using the Zen community plugin for immersive writing, which I’ve mapped to Cmd-Shift-Z.
