Drill all 37 until you don't have to think about them.
a small set of keys for a big vault
Covers Obsidian's default desktop hotkeys on macOS and Windows only; generic OS chords (copy/paste/undo/select-all), pure caret navigation, and typed Markdown auto-format triggers are excluded, and mobile is out of scope. Obsidian ships a deliberately small default set, so common actions like daily note, delete file, bookmark, and sidebar toggles are absent here because they have no factory binding.

Every deck is graded 1 to 7: level 1 is the reflex core, the top level is where the specialists live. One move from each, so you can see how far it goes.
Run any Obsidian command by name without hunting through menus
Most commands ship with no hotkey at all, so this palette is the one door that reaches every one of them.

How graduation works. Drill until every move in the deck holds at ≥95% first-try, under 800ms median, across two separate days. Then the deck is done — and you get a certificate stating exactly that, plus a LinkedIn credential in one click.
