I would like to be able to select, change, and delete around a word and a sentence, like I can in Vim.
Can you explain in more detail how that works?
And to do a ‘light speed’ jump to any part of the visible text by typing some shortcut and then typing the first two letters of the word I want to jump to; in Vim, and in Obsidian (using a plugin) the matches are then marked with a letter, and hitting that letter takes me there.
Something like this could be possible. A first step would be to have a 'mark all matches' sort of functionality for find. Then we'd need the ability to restrict a find to the start of a word. (You could do that with the 'advanced' find feature, which permits regular expressions, too.) Then one could add the matches to the outliner and figure out some way to make the 'hitting a letter' thing work. It's doable, but would take work. Perhaps you could file an enhancement request?
On top of that, going back and forward through the locations where my cursor has been placed,
This actually does not sound hard. We would just need (a) to save these locations and (b) to make it possible to iterate through the list via some LFUNs.
and like you say, persistent undo would be wonderful.
I've initiated some discussion of a related bug. If we could fix that one, then probably it would not be hard to save the undo stack.
