Tab Title from H1

An Obsidian plugin that renames the active tab to the note's first-level heading (# H1) instead of showing the filename.

If a note has an H1 that differs from its filename, the tab header displays the H1 text. This keeps tabs readable when your filenames are terse, dated, or kebab-cased but your notes carry a human-friendly title.

How it works

The plugin listens for workspace and metadata events (layout-change, active-leaf-change, file-open, vault rename, and metadata cache changed). On each event it looks up the active file's first H1 heading and, if one exists, sets the active tab header's text to that heading.

There are no settings — the behavior is automatic once the plugin is enabled.

Installation

Manually

  1. Build the plugin (see below) or download main.js and manifest.json from a release.
  2. Copy main.js and manifest.json into your vault at VaultFolder/.obsidian/plugins/tab-title-from-file-title/.
  3. Reload Obsidian and enable Tab Title from H1 File Title in Settings → Community plugins.

Development

  • Make sure NodeJS is at least v18 (node --version).
  • npm i to install dependencies.
  • npm run dev to start compilation in watch mode.
  • npm run build to produce a production build.
  • npm run lint to run ESLint.

The plugin source is a single file: src/main.ts.
