Toggle between vim and normal mode.

Vim Toggle Plugin Obsidian ¶

To install this plugin normally, you can navigate within the obsidian app to the community plugins to view and install this plugin without even exiting the app! Hopefully you can find some use for it yourself! (You will be able to do this soon).

Use Case ¶

Writting inside of obsidian canvas mode can be feel alittle tedious using vim mode cause of the constant inserting, this plugin allows for the user to evade these difficulties by switching to regular typing from vim mode temporarily.
