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 feel i'm an outlier in that i intentionally do not use keyboard shortcuts and focus on mouse usage instead
CTRL - P to get to all the available commands in Obsidian.
I'm on a mac so it's cmd but mostly the same
cmd-t - new tab cmd-up/down - move backwards or forwards in journal diary days cmd-p - command-browser (if i don't know any shortcuts i use this)
I started using the Zen community plugin for immersive writing, which I've mapped to Cmd-Shift-Z.
I'd recommend going into settings/options and having a look at the "Hotkeys" tab. There's a lot of things that aren't currently set, or default hotkeys that might be useful to you, like:
ctrl + shift + p
which pins the current tab so it can't be replaced with another tab ctrl + w
ctrl + p
. The command palette is amazing because it shows you everything in the "Hotkeys" tab. So you don't even need a hotkey set to use something. Like you can open the command palette and search for "release notes" and it will show you the current release notes. If you have the emoji plugin installed, you can open the command palette and search for "emoji" and it will open the emoji toolbar. ctrl + o
. But I have the Omnisearch plugin installed so I set this hotkey to that instead. The plugin QuickAdd is really useful here as well, you can create your own hotkeys. I made one so when I press ctrl + n
it creates a new note in a specific folder with today's date and time as the file name, so I can quickly write something down.
