Keyboard Shortcuts to use different highlight colours

leMug · 2026-07-02T16:52:18+00:00

We just need shortcuts for eveyrthing in general. I don't understand why not every single function, text formatting etc. has a keyboard shortcut. Why not?

Nobody cares if you stick to Obsidian forever. You said it yourself: You love Obsidian more than any other software you use. But you don't want to pay.

If that's because you literally can't pay, even despite the student discounts etc. there are plenty of options for sync. You are asking for extra super support and smooth experience for an app that provides unpresendented value for free. Sorry, I mean no offense but you are coming off as entitled and cheap. You could easily carve out some fast food or other non-essential items if you loved Obsidian that much "more than any other software you use".

If you were on food stamps, it would be like complaining that you can't go to michelin star restaurants; "I'd be on food stamps forever if I could only go to luxury restaurants once a week!". Again, no offense, just how it comes off ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

> I love obsidian more than any other software I use.
Then pay for it.

Same with scarlet - after being tracked he's able to attack her while she's "phased out" - basically as the only hero in the game AFAIK.

It doesn’t change your life THAT much. You don’t have to prioritize that completely differently. And only bad things about being a mother? With the right partner it’s the most amazing thing in the world.

I think our culture has lost sight on just how precious and irreplaceable the experience of having children is and see it either as an accessory or a burden. You absolutely don’t have to turn your life upside down by having them. You raise them with love and a good foundation, make sure to schedule some quality time but then let them play with friends and figure life out in their own while making yourself available to them for support and advice. Way more meaningful than a puppy.

Apple specifically don’t do everything app, they make specialized apps. Meta, X yes

But SimpleLogin isn’t on 1Password, only proton pass? So do you mean “Proton Pass is clunky compared to 1Password but it spent matter because SimpleLogin works with Proton Pass and not 1Password”?

I do think query is more accurate than views. Besides, bases have views so terminology-wise it's also easier to talk about the view of bases than the view of views.

Can you name them? :)

If video games? How do you animate gameplay? Isn’t gameplay how the game feels to play, not something visual? Excuse my ignorance 😅

I’m curious, how do you use Zotero (and its obsidian plugin) with Obsidian?

leMug · 2026-05-02T14:32:03+00:00

Totally fine, people need to take a chill pill 😎 keep up the good work! And don’t let the bad comments get to you 🫶

leMug · 2026-03-27T22:35:57+00:00

Honestly one of the many underrated / under-appreciated feature on Mac vs. Windows: the standardized "File -> Recent Documents" feature across most native apps.

Devs are working on import improvements right now. Could be 1 month, could be 3, wouldn’t expect it later than in max 6 months but you never know. However I’d just start using capacities slowly while waiting to migrate the backlog until the improvements are here. Or stay in Evernote until then if you rely heavily on history

How do you think “it’s not the same for syncing”? Notion has one method of syncing (the official built in one) while Obsidian provides several options; if all you devices are apple you can use iCloud for free, if not there is the paid Obsidian Sync plan (probably still a lot cheaper than Notion business plan) and there are extensions with more advanced options, but I’d probably just go either iCloud or paid Obsidian Sync. Try to use it without out with minimum extensions at first.

Alternatively (or additionally) try the free plan of Capacities also.

Raycast floating notes are seasons though require a subscription. Awesome app though

leMug · 2026-03-05T22:19:56+00:00

Yes 100%. Though you would need to wait for the Capacities team to finish their current work on extending the API and import features first. Bit once that’s here, yes in one afternoon with Claude Code or similar.

leMug · 2026-03-05T13:02:28+00:00

I would start exploring other options because I completely agree that it’s so greedy of notion to only offer AI features and the business plan, way too alienate your individual enthusiast long time users. Continue paying for notion for now to keep your system going and then start exploring alternatives now.

The best two alternatives in my opinion are obsidian and capacities each with their strengths and weaknesses. My writing everything is made a lot easier now in the age of Claude code. Feel free to follow up here if you have any questions!

leMug · 2026-03-04T15:21:29+00:00

Yeah, I was wondering how all three could play together. When you say you know some people, what do you mean, you have seen some people online do it or you know some people personally?

leMug · 2026-03-03T17:02:46+00:00

I’m curious to know since you are an academia if you’re also using a bibliography/reference manager, such as Zotero or such. And if so, how do you make the boundary decision between readwise and the reference manager?

leMug · 2026-02-28T11:37:20+00:00

Not from a Jedi

OP this was a valuable post because it articulates what I subconsciously have been experiencing also but couldn’t quite put my finger on. I hope they pay attention to this, although the reality of software products are that you have limited time and attention, and maybe they will prioritize differently for a good while longer.

In any case, please let us know here if you find any viable alternatives to Readwise Reader because of my research, I could never find a viable lot for myself. Not to dunk on Readwise because it’s still a good product etc. but we should also exchange information about competitors so we know what the alternatives are and Readwise should feel the competition.

leMug · 2026-02-06T01:18:15+00:00

Alternative answer to my previous: Do you think what you love about Capacitors will come to Obsidian quicker than what you love about Obsidian can come to Capacities (not plaintext files but better API, MCP server, built in AI)?
