# Core Search Assistant
This plugin enhances the built-in search function by providing
- **keyboard interface**,
- **card view**,
- **bigger preview**,
- **auto preview**,
## How to use
When you open the built-in search panel, you enter **search mode**.
In the search mode, you can use the following hotkeys.
| Key | Action |
| -- | -- |
| `Ctrl + N`, `↓` | Select the next item. |
| `Ctrl + P`, `↑` | Select the previous item. |
| `Ctrl + Space` | Preview the selected item. Currently **not** supported in the legacy editor. ([Manual preview](#manual-preview)) |
| `Ctrl + Enter` | Open the selected item. |
| `Ctrl + Shift + Enter` | Open the selected item in a new pane. |
| `Shift + Space` | Set search options. |
| `Ctrl + ]` | Move to the next set of cards. (available only in [card view](#3-card-view).) |
| `Ctrl + [` | Move to the previous set of cards. (available only in [card view](#3-card-view).) |
| `Ctrl + I` | Copy the wiki link of the selected item. |
- The hotkeys above are available only in the search mode, so don't worry about overwriting your hotkey settings.
- You **can customize hotkeys** in the setting tab.
- To **exit** the search mode, press `Esc` or click any part of the screen other than the search panel.
## Auto Preview
There are three options for auto preview.
1. none,
2. single view,
3. card view.
### 1. None
Manual preview by `Ctrl + Enter` is still available.
### 2. Single view
Previewed item can be scrolled unlike card view.
### 3. Card view
Available layouts:
- 2 x 2,
- 2 x 3,
- 3 x 2,
- 3 x 3.
If rendered results are wrong, press `Enter` to reload.
## Manual Preview
**Currently manual preview is not supported in the legacy editor.**
In the preview modal, the following hotkeys are available.
| Key | Action |
| -- | -- |
| `Ctrl + N`, `↓` | Scroll down a bit. |
| `Ctrl + P`, `↑` | Scroll up a bit. |
| `Space` | Scroll down a lot. |
| `Shit + Space` | Scroll up a lot. |
| `Ctrl + Enter` | Open the selected item. |
| `Ctrl + Shift + Enter` | Open the selected item in a new pane. |
| `Esc`, `Ctrl + Space` | Close the modal. |
| `Tab` | Focus on the next match. |
| `Shift + Tab` | Focus on the previous match. |
| `Ctrl + E` | Toggle preview mode. |
| `Ctrl + I` | Copy the wiki link of the selected item. |
- You **can customize hotkeys** in the setting tab.
## Search options
## Trouble shooting
### Hotkeys do not work after a search ([issue #44](https://github.com/qawatake/obsidian-core-search-assistant-plugin/issues/44))
Please reload Obsidian.
If that does not help you, enable the *Render cards manually* option in the setting tab.
