Pin Tab Guard

An Obsidian plugin that protects your pinned tabs from being accidentally closed or unpinned.

Problem

By default in Obsidian, pinned tabs can be unpinned or closed by:

  • Pressing Cmd/Ctrl+W on a pinned tab (unpins it)
  • "Close all other tabs" (closes pinned tabs too)
  • "Close tab group" (closes pinned tabs too)

This can be frustrating if you use pinned tabs to keep important notes always open.

Solution

Just install and enable — no configuration needed.

This plugin guards the following built-in commands:

Command Guarded behavior
Close current tab (Cmd/Ctrl+W) Pinned tab → does nothing
Close all other tabs Only closes non-pinned tabs
Close tab group Only closes non-pinned tabs; if all tabs are pinned, does nothing

Disabling the plugin restores all original behaviors.

Note: This plugin guards commands triggered by hotkeys and the command palette. Closing a tab via the right-click context menu bypasses the command system and is not affected.
