Focus on already open note instead of reopening it

Managing different workspaces and vaults can prevent unintended tabs. Normally you can right click tab and select close others. You can create new notes to current tab. This is the default left click action when clicking uncreated internal note links [[my note]]. You can visit links using keyboard too by pressing Cmd + Enter and Opt + Enter, I suppose these are Ctrl + Enter and LAlt + Enter on windows. By default Cmd + N creates notes to new tabs but you can run other command Create new note in current tab which you can bind to Cmd + N, Cmd + M, Opt + M etc.

Perhaps I misunderstood the original post – if clicking on something that is in a different file the editor will reuse an existing tab of that file and put the focus on the target. If no existing tab is found, a new one will be created. A duplicate tab is never produced. The point is this, the way br…
