The o, keyword lets you search every Obsidian setting tab by name and jump to it directly, without clicking through the settings sidebar. The search covers built-in Obsidian settings tabs, quick-access entries for the community plugin and theme browsers, and the settings pages for every community plugin you have installed in your vault.
The o, keyword mirrors the standard macOS keyboard shortcut ⌘ , used to open an app’s settings — a helpful mnemonic for building the habit.

What o, searches

The search covers three categories of results:

Obsidian Core Settings

Built-in tabs such as Editor, Files & Links, Appearance, Hotkeys, About, and the Core Plugins list.

Community Browsers

Quick access to the Plugin Browser, Theme Browser, and Community Plugins page — useful for browsing without leaving Alfred.

Installed Plugin Settings

Every community plugin installed in your vault appears as a result, so you can jump straight to that plugin’s settings tab.
Disabled community plugins are shown with a 🟥 badge in the subtitle so you can tell at a glance whether a plugin is active. Plugins detected as having a local .git folder are marked with ⚙️, indicating they are locally developed.

Keyboard shortcuts

The following shortcuts apply when a community plugin result is selected. They are not available for core Obsidian settings tabs or the plugin/theme browser entries.

Standard actions

ShortcutAction
Open the selected setting tab directly in Obsidian
⌥ + ⏎Open the plugin’s local folder (~/.obsidian/plugins/<id>/) in Finder
⇧ + ⏎Toggle the plugin on or off (enable if disabled, disable if enabled)

Developer shortcuts

These actions are intended for plugin developers who have cloned a plugin’s repository into their local plugin folder.
ShortcutAction
⌘ + ⏎Open the plugin’s local folder in your default Terminal
⌃ + ⏎Copy the plugin’s ID to the clipboard
fn + ⏎Run git pull inside the plugin’s directory to pull the latest changes
Hold while browsing results to see each plugin’s ID displayed in the result subtitle before you commit to copying it.
The Terminal shortcut (⌘ + ⏎) and git pull shortcut (fn + ⏎) only make sense for plugins whose folder contains a .git directory — i.e., repos you have cloned locally for development. They are harmless but have no useful effect on plugins installed through Obsidian’s standard plugin manager. You can change which terminal Alfred uses in Alfred’s settings.

Built-in settings tabs

The following core Obsidian setting tabs are always available in the o, search, regardless of which plugins are installed:
