Commands & shortcuts
Trigger plugin workflows from Obsidian’s command palette and use the controls built into Chat.
How commands are wired
SystemSculpt loads the commands below when the plugin starts. Each one lines up with the buttons and menus you see in Obsidian, so the behaviour here matches what happens in the app.
Use the command palette (Cmd/Ctrl + P) and type the command name, or pair it with ribbon icons you have enabled.

Choose your keyboard shortcuts
SystemSculpt does not reserve global shortcuts. Open Obsidian settings → Hotkeys → SystemSculpt and assign only the commands you use often.
