## What it is
An Obsidian.md plugin that loads a persistent .obsidian.vimrc file of Vim commands, letting users of Obsidian's built-in Vim mode keep keymaps and settings across sessions. It adds extras like clipboard yank support, custom mappings, and Ex commands that trigger Obsidian commands.

## Use cases
- persist vim keybindings in obsidian
- load a vimrc file in obsidian vault
- map keys to obsidian commands in vim mode
- yank to system clipboard in obsidian vim mode
- customize vim mode settings across obsidian vaults

## When to choose
- you use Obsidian's built-in Vim mode and want persistent keymaps and settings
- you want to remap keys or run Obsidian commands via Vim Ex commands
- you use multiple vaults and want consistent Vim configuration

## When to avoid
- you don't use Obsidian's Vim key bindings
- you need full Vimscript support or features beyond CodeMirror's Vim emulation
- you need a plugin under active development - the maintainer is seeking a successor
