Do not place cursor in file when open from Files

Use case or problem

When I open a file from the Files panel on Desktop, Obsidian automatically inserts the cursor at the beginning of the file triggering the Live editor to show the title hashtag symbol: “# Title”.

To fix this, I sometimes click on the same file in Files again to remove focus and the cursor.

Proposed solution

Do not place the cursor automatically if it wasn’t there before.

You may want to change Settings > Editor > “Default view for new tabs” to “Reading view”. (and switch your currently open tabs to Reading view).
