Optional micro-features for find control of opening background tabs

Have you tried toggling this off?

@WhiteNoise, I had not tried that. I just did and that does solve most of my problem, thank you! Specifically, it solves this one from above, which is actually really helpful:

  • Open Link under cursor in new tab without focus (blank)

Speaking of which, when I wrote this post, I did look to see the feature you said would be implemented in v1.2 in this post was in fact implemented. I must have looked in the wrong place, because now I see if I look at the changelog., I can clearly see: “Added Editor setting to open new tabs in the background.”. So now I know where to look.

The others realistically aren’t much needed by me, but I can imagine that if Obsidian really became a part of me, that I benefit and possibly others would too:

  • Move current tab to new window without focus (blank)
  • New Tab without focus (blank)
  • Open Current Tab in New Window without focus (blank)
  • Open Link under cursor in a new window without focus (blank)
  • Open Link under cursor on the right without focus (blank)

Of those 5, these 3 below are honestly kind of UNIX-y. I remember having a workflow in fvwm2 or another window manager, perhaps WindowMaker where pushing windows to the background was a nice thing to have. Features like these probably aren’t necessary for the way we work with Tabs now. Generally if you are tearing off tabs into another window you are about to use that window:

  • Open Current Tab in New Window without focus (blank)
  • Open Link under cursor in a new window without focus (blank)
  • Move current tab to new window without focus (blank)

This one is probably useless…:

  • New Tab without focus (blank)

This one might be useful but probably limited.. Nice for throwing something up for reference from a page, while then working down that page.

  • Open Link under cursor on the right without focus (blank)

This FR is somewhat a duplicate of Super FR: Customizable mouse event actions (click) with keyboard modifiers

I’ve just gone and liked that post. I take it that is the same as upvoting it. I’m new to the forum.

I think we can consider this one closed with no further comment. the feature you mentioned is really helpful.
