Would like to be able to double-click a folder in the current vault to focus it (e…g, hoist it) so that it appears as the current top level folder in the folder view.

Nested Vaults (vault within a vault)

Not sure if double-click should be the action to activate the hoisting but to be able to hoist the tree would be great. I use this a lot in Trilium Notes … helps with the focus.

Focus on a specific folder

Super agree! +1

Adding +1 for this. I was going to add this request if not already posted.

To clarify I mean hoisting in the file tree viewer. If tag groups is ever implemented then hoisting in the tag list would be great and if outliner in the editor becomes native then of course hoisting in the editor also.

Hoisting everywhere you want to be!

+1 - maybe a plugin?

YES! Amazing Idea! +1
Though, I’d say the interaction should be a right click

  • Opens right click menu
  • Select option “Focus Folder”
  • Opens a new file explorer in the same pane as the main explorer.

(Side Bar: It may make more sense to change the main file explorer pane to be a vault or File cabinet icon. Since that really is what it represents. Then have the file icon for focused folders)

I tend to really like having well sorted files. But that requires loads of them when I want to keep my life inside Obsidian. So my main Vault is a bit overwhelming sometimes. This would really be an incredible feature for my brain.
