Right now, when the current active tab is closed, the tab on the right is activated. This is a common pattern in web browsers and multi-tab native apps.
Given that obsidian is an editor, it would preferable to default to (or add the option to) reactivating the previously active tab. This will speedup users who want to resume working on their last active tab/note.
Yeah, todays update broke my workflow.
I’m using the Open Tab Settings plugin to make links open in new tabs, and most natural behavior for opening is to the right of the current tab.
When I open a note in a tab to the right, do something and close it - previously I was getting back to the note where I started.
Now I’m getting to some other note. This is very inconvenient.
It would’ve been better if devs at least provided an option to keep the old behavior for a time being…
I hope i can choose to switch back to the previous behavior where the tab on the left gets activated when closing a tab.
