Many of Obsidian’s main features & functions are facilitated by the sidebars. By these sidebars not being present in “new windows” I often find that my ability to work in my vault is limited when using multiple windows
New windows look & function identical to the current “main window”.
This is really driving me nuts. Maybe I’m missing something, but I live and breathe in the sidebar/s. Why are they only present in the first window?
You can have multiple tabs in a new window, but not see the Outline view of any document unless it’s opened in the ‘main’ window? I find it really confusing and hard to use.
I couldn’t agree more! While the “new window” feature is fantastic & extremely valuable, it is severely handicapped by not including the sidebars.
EDIT: I don’t believe you’re missing anything. I too couldn’t find a solution.
If there is concern on maintaining the “main” window as being separate from any “new windows” I think there’s likely a better alternative solution. The first one that comes to mind is to number them somehow, wherever would be easily visible, but also not intrusive. The status bar comes to mind…
+1 on this! I use two screens on my desktop, and it would be fantastic not to have to mouse offscreen to use the sidebars.
+1!
Navigating to the main window to access Obsidian search is quite inconvenient.
it would be helpful if Obsidian could:
+1 Search with pop out would be best, alternatively even with the option to add the search sidebar to the separated windows could help a lot.
this would be huge if added. can do it in notion but not in obsidian. wonder if there is a community plugin right now that allows us to use sidebars in new windows for obsidian?
I’m currently proving a work-around, if anyone is interested, please comment.
I’m definitely interested.
interested. Can you share your work-around?
