Description

Category: Note Enhancements

#mononote #tab #note-management

The Mononote plugin ensures that each note is opened in only one tab per window pane in Obsidian. When a note is already open, the plugin focuses on its existing tab rather than opening the same file in a new tab. This functionality works seamlessly for notes accessed via links, menus, or hotkeys. To function correctly, users must enable the 'Always focus new tabs' option in the Editor settings. Mononote helps streamline workflows by minimizing duplicate tabs, offering a more organized and efficient note-taking experience.

Changelog

New

Adds settings tab where you can configure how much time Mononote gives to Obsidian to load a file and do its thing, before Mononote's tab switching kicks in.

By default, the plugin waits for 100ms before applying its own tab switching rules. However, depending on your machine and your vault size, that might not be enough time. If it isn't, then Mononote would switch tabs before Obsidian is done internally, and then Obsidian would add another switch on top. So now you can adjust this delay if necessary.

Mononote

This plugin ensures each note occupies only one tab per window pane. If a note is already open, its existing tab will be focussed instead of opening the same file in the current tab. Works for opening notes via links, menus, hotkeys.

For Mononote to work correctly, Settings → Editor → Always focus new tabs MUST BE ENABLED. This is because it hooks into the active-leaf-change event which is not fired for new files when this setting is disabled. Technical limitations, sorry.
