Use case or problem
I often work with multiple tabs open in Obsidian, such as for managing various projects and notes like bookkeeping or design tasks. The current accordion dropdown menu lists all open tabs, which is helpful for navigation, but I need a way to close individual tabs directly from this menu without having to click the “x” on each tab manually, especially when dealing with a large number of tabs.
Proposed solution
Add a “Close” option or clickable “x” next to each tab listed in the accordion dropdown menu. When a user hovers over or selects a tab in the list, this option would appear, allowing the user to close that specific tab with a single click. This would streamline the process of managing multiple tabs, saving time and reducing the need to navigate back to the tab bar, particularly when the tab is not currently visible on screen.
Current workaround (optional)
Currently, I have to locate the specific tab in the tab bar and click the “x” to close it, which can be cumbersome when many tabs are open or when the desired tab is off-screen. Another workaround is to use the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + W or Cmd + W) to close the active tab, but this requires switching focus to the tab first.
