Shortcut for Opening the Side Panel in Obsidian Web Clipper for Direct Note Editing

[LLM391]

Hi there,
When using the Obsidian Web Clipper, I can right-click on a webpage and choose the "Open Side Panel" option from the context menu. This mode is very helpful as it allows me to edit my notes directly in the side panel.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to open the side panel (instead of the small status bar popup)? I’d like to quickly annotate my notes in the panel after clipping and save them to Obsidian.

+1 on this, the side panel is awesome and being able to access it via hotkey would be 🔥

This is a great idea, unfortunately it is currently blocked by a bug in Chrome:

If this is planned to be implemented, it could also be considered to add the option to open both the side panel and the Floating Toolbar at the same time, i.e. both with a single keyboard shortcut. I know there is a specific keyboard shortcut to activate highlighting, but this could be optional.

Has this been resolved?

I sorta have that implemented with #498. I implemented a behaviour how the clipper opens after you highlight something. Depending on the needs I could also look into making a toggle for the normal clipping behaviour.

@imadreamerboy if possible could you also add a hotkey to trigger the sidebar? i wasn going through the code and it seems like the only issue preventing this is that obsidian implemets the sidebar trigger asynchronously which doesnt work with the sidebarAction function.

I updated my pr ( #498 (comment)). @semisenioritis if you want to test it you can build it yourself from my fork https://github.com/imadreamerboy/obsidian-clipper/tree/vivaldi-clean

Thanks @imadreamerboy , will do!

I made my own fork for it but I didn't test it on all browsers, just edge so didn't make a pr.
