Use case or problem
Easier way to navigate/go to the first tab. More needed on mobile.
Proposed solution
A proper command in line with the existent ones showed here
Current workaround (optional)
Using go to next tab command (only if you’re in the last tab), the tab switcher/overview (disruptive when there’s lots of tabs).
I think Plugin: Vertical Tabs for Obsidian has command to go to #1 tab (it’s overkill for this feature).
On Mac, Cmd-1 selects the first tab. Not sure what that would be if you’re using Windows or Linux.
Search for ‘tab’ instead of ‘go tab’ and you’ll get more commands.
In settings:
In command list:
The settings are present on mobile, but not the commands. Strictly a mobile issue.
Got to tab #X should appear on the mobile’s command palette, that’s probably a bug.
I searched for “tab” and didn’t see the numbered commands (tho now that you mention them, I have seen them before).

I think it’s indeed a bug. Now I get why this wasn’t an issue before, instead of using a ‘Go to first tab’ command, I may have been using the missing Go to tab #1 .
Edit: I’m on Android.
Interesting. Are you on macOS or another OS? Maybe it’s an issue with certain operating systems.
I also see them when I search commands on iOS.
EDIT: BTW, I’m running early access so maybe it’s something recent.
Public version of Obsidian on iOS, but I think the public is the most recent right now.
