If you have too many tabs opened there will not be enough space to list them all in one screen.

I suggest vertical tab list as option, exmaple would be

And I suggest split the note list area into 2 panes in horizon, the upper list notes, and the lower pane list open tabs.

Another vote here for VS Code style behavior where you have both the flexibility of having multiple panes, but each pane can have tabs.

In terms of the UI, I would suggest that opening a note via the fodler list or quick-pick would replace the note in the current pane, whereas holding CTRL would open it as a tab in the current pane (with an option in preferences to switch that around according to personal preference).

Just want to add that VScode-style tabs are also fantastic for “large print” users (where the amount of text we can have on the screen at once is limited). I can’t have more than 2 (maybe 3) panes open at readable zoom levels before I trigger a migrane from squinting at it.

Tabs would make my life much less painful. :slight_smile:

A possible simple solution that would resemble the “sideways tabs” items linked by @coldwinds is a plugin (perhaps a core plugin) that replicates the “open editors” functionality in VSCode.

Basically, when you open VSCode the sidebar not only contains the file browser but above it is a separate section/pane that contains a clickable list of open files.

Note also that some capabilities users want may also be obtainable by combining:

  • Workspaces (core plugin) - save and load various pane layouts & doc locations
  • Cycle through panes (community plugin) - provides Ctrl+Tab for switching between docs just like browser tabs
  • Andy Mode (community plugin) - toggle on the rotated headers and let panes slide in and out as you cycle through them

I hope this will support “ctrl + tab” and “ctrl + shift + tab” to navigate like in browsers

That would be great!!!

Agreed. This is how I use VimWiki. I really miss this ability in Obsidian.

Need to chime in against all the love in this thread for how VS Code does panes/tabs :pensive: . I love VS Code, but I really don’t see the point of having multiple tabs within a pane. I use tabs in VimWiki for handling different types of pane sets (a tab for each project, with panes for different aspects of the project). Maybe there’s something I’m misunderstanding about how people use panes in VS Code.

+1 for tabs with VSCode style. That would be super great :slight_smile:

Chiming in here for this; I’ve found an Obsidian Tabs extension but it seems to assume that you want only one pane, whereas I miss the vscode/[[foam]] like setup in which each pane might have its own tab set.

Would love to see a tab mode. It’s currently inconvenient to switch between notes.

Same here, I would love the same system as in VSCode. With the incoming WYSIWYG mode, that would be a perfect combination (the tabs pluging is a bit klunky and doesn’t really have the expected behavior)

Do we know if this is on the future todolist of the dev?

#33

There are a couple of plugin for doing this.

@WhiteNoise: would be more useful to briefly describe the recommended plugin, and the differences among them; or at least link to them.

I’ve found these so far:
