Vim mode

If you use Obsidian's built-in Vim mode, you've probably noticed issues with cursor movement around tables in Live Preview.

This plugin fixes them.

It also includes improvements that benefit note editing more broadly — CJK (Chinese/Japanese) word movement, and Markdown-aware line-start movement and line joining.

Vim mode navigating a Live Preview table correctly

Just turn on Obsidian's built-in Vim key bindings (Settings → Editor). The basic behavior upgrades are already ON by default, so no additional setup is needed.

If you also want to use table structure operations and cell-to-cell cursor movement, open Settings → Universal Cursor Hotkeys → Vim mode and click Apply both.
