"Open today's daily note" opens additional tab instead of switching to already existing

[spikepy]

1. create a daily note and keep its tap open
2. create another node and pin it (keep it also focused)
3. if you “Open today’s daily note” it will create another tab with your daily note instead of switching to the already open

i also think this is linked and should behave differently

1. like before create a daily note and keep it open
2. create another node (keep it focused)
3. if you “Open today’s daily note” it will “overwrite”/change the current tab with the note with your daily note instead of switching to the already open tab. this feels wrong but maybe we need another option to say that we want to switch to already open tabs instead of changing the current tab to that file?

Hi welcome to the forum. Please search around before making new bug reports of feature requests. You’ll find existing threads or workarounds.

“No Dupe Leaves” is a plugin which tries to help with this. And there are existing feature requests to handle this.

IDE style navigation (tab reuse on link opening, tab management, switch to already open note)

MOD-EDIT: This is a reorganized FR Currently, Obsidian uses a Browser-style navigation system. You click on link, it opens it in that tab. An alternative approach is to follow IDEs (Integrated develop environment/Code Editors). IDEs generally don’t navigate within a tab. You click on a link and it either: Moves the focus to a tab where the target was already opened or A new tab with the target is opened. IDEs navigate in the current tab only if the target of the link is in current tab …

If a note is open in a pinned tab, focus that Pinned tab when clicking a link to that note

Command to close duplicate tabs

I usually end up with a bunch of tabs open in Obsidian, with some of them just being duplicate views of the same tab. I suggest that having a command to quickly close all duplicate tabs (leaving only one tab per open note) would be a nice improvement.

Automatically navigate to file location in explorer when note is opened

Hi, I would love to have a way to have the explorer focus and center the location of the note, when I switch to a note using the quick switcher (Shift + o).
