Smart Tabs

Open files in new tabs by default, with smart tab deduplication.

Features

  • New tab by default — every file you click opens in a new tab, keeping your workspace organized
  • Smart deduplication — if the file is already open, focus it instead of creating a duplicate (configurable)
  • Universal coverage — works with File Explorer, Quick Switcher, internal links, bookmarks, and any API call
  • Broad file type support — markdown, canvas, graph, image, video, audio, pdf
  • Configurable delay — fine-tune the response timing to match your system
