Use case or problem

Currently when Obsidian is launched it shows my notes in the last mode toggled the last time Obsidian was running. But even if I have closed Obsidian while in Editor mode, I want to always restart in Preview mode.

Proposed solution

A setting to always revert to Preview mode or Editor mode on Obsidian launch would be welcomed.

maybe this plugin can help GitHub - bwydoogh/obsidian-force-view-mode-of-note

Thanks but no, I’m talking about a global setting at the app level. It should be a core setting, not a plugin.

Does Preferences → Editor → Default New Pane mode not do what you want?

No. I use the latest version of Obsidian, I have set Default New Pane mode to Preview. I open a note, toggle Editor, quit Obsidian → When I relaunch Obsidian, my note is still in Editor mode.
