This plugin adds a few commands to use Obsidian with Emacs-like keybindings.
What is this plugin:
- Basic imitation of Emacs commands to make text editing for Emacs users more smooth
What isn't this plugin:
- Implementation of complete GNU Emacs functionality and integration elisp into Obsidian
- Exact reproducing behavior of GNU Emacs commands

- Move to beginning of line command (Ctrl + a) conflicts with select all action. Solution: Use Home/End + Shift.
- Conflicts with existing hotkeys. Solution: use additional plugin for custom bindings, for example https://github.com/tgrosinger/leader-hotkeys-obsidian
- Absent support of "kill-ring". Solution: use plugin https://github.com/Karakaz/obsidian-paste-from-history with
