Fixed keyboard layout not working (RU layout)?

[Victornovikov]

Please make sure your question is within the scope of this plugin.

• [x] I know this plugin is about persisting changes to the Vim support built into Obsidian, plus some bonus features, and considered asking in the Obsidian forum first.

Describe the question I am using RU and EN layouts. The fixed keyboard layout feature doesn't seem to work at all for me.

Any pointers are much appreciated.

Unfortunately this feature is currently broken, and waiting for myself or someone else to rewrite it for live view CM6-based editor.

Please do it, if you have time, I need it too 😄

I just found a temporary workaround: https://github.com/ALONELUR/vim-im-select-obsidian

But the only problem is that when entering "search" it doesn't switch to the target language. Except that it requires additional .exe file to switch the languages.

Umm not sure if this will help to solve all your problems, but this workaround solved some issues with Cyrillic layout for me. Most of the vim mappings work fine, like entering insert mode with i, visual mode with v, etc. Exiting insert/visual mode with Ctrl-c works fine, navigating the page with Ctrl-u / Ctrl-d works fine.

The only issue that I couldn't solve is mapping the double keypress commands, like gg, zt, zb, zz.

Pretty sure this workaround should work for other layouts too.

Add the following to your .obsidian.vimrc to remap cyrillic keys to english ones:

I've tried to use im-select obsidian plugin but I'm stuck. I downloaded the other im-select .exe file and put it in the Users path, I found my windows input method identifier: 1033. Then In obsidian I wrote this: But I just can't change my input method with Esc. What did I do wrong?
