Use case or problem
If there is two files with the same name but under different directories, when both are opened it’s not clear which tab is which.
Proposed solution
An option similar to VSCode’s "workbench.editor.labelFormat" where the user can configure how the tab labels are displayed.
| Value | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| short | parent | foo/bar |
| medium | relative path (to vault) | notes/foo/bar |
| long | full path | /home/usr/alexion/vault/notes/foo/bar |
| default | parent when another tab with a similar name is open | foo/bar |
I don’t see myself ever using the long option but included it for completeness.
Current workaround (optional)
Closest thing to a workaround is enabling the tab title bar to be able to see the breadcrumbs, but if not in any of the same name tabs it’s not clear.
