Please return back the function where closing a tab activates the tab to the left and not the tab to the right. I would be interested to know who wanted this function and why.
My behavior is that I click on a link on a page with Ctrl and a new tab opens. When I close it, I want to go back to what I was working on. Instead, the other open tab is activated.
When closing a tab, the tab to the right is activated (previously the tab to the left would get activated). (Obsidian 1.10.0 Desktop (Early access) - Obsidian)
If this is what you want, I think you should open a different FR asking for the “last active tab to be reactivated”, which can be on the left, right, separated by other tabs, or in another tab group all-togheter.
In fact, I’ve never really thought about which Tab gets activated before. It’s only now, when making the change, that I’ve started to think about it. So my problem will definitely be solved if the settings is returned to how it was before. Alternatively, an option could be added in Settings if someone really appreciates the new setting.
A potential solution: when you want to quickly check some other note (or add an alias there – this is a common issue) before coming back to the current note, just open it in the same tab, then hit the keyboard shortcut to go back (ctrl-alt-left in my case).
Navigation between notes in the same tab naturally creates a stack structure and you can “pop the stack” through going back. You can do this recursively, i.e. from the note you loaded to add the alias, you can visit yet another note if needed, then go back twice and you’re back editing the original note.
This takes care of our use case, while the current operation (which is the same as in web browsers) is actually helpful in other use cases (as I elaborated in the other thread).
