GithubFocus Sidebar
An Obsidian plugin that allows you to directly focus on the left and right sidebars (and restore the last active tab or sub-element) using keyboard shortcuts.
Features
- Focus on left sidebar: Focuses the left sidebar and switches to the currently visible tab.
- Focus on right sidebar: Focuses the right sidebar and switches to the currently visible tab.
- Focus on left sidebar (last position): Restores focus to the last active tab in the left sidebar. If you were in an input field (like search) or navigating a tree (like file explorer), it will restore focus directly to that input field or active list item.
- Focus on right sidebar (last position): Restores focus to the last active tab in the right sidebar, and restores focus directly to the last focused item or active outline header.
- Easy return: Pressing
Esctwice will return focus back to the active note editor.
