Seems like plugin stopped working (after version 1.0.0? )
I have two panes saved (calendar and kanban), but neither the shortcut nor running the command from the command-palette seems to be cycling through them.

It would be great if you could allow using Cmd+1, Cmd+2, Cmd+3 etc. to select tabs across split view panels as well if that is in any way possible.

However, in my case, that's probably due to an Obsidian issue that prevents making a sidebar document active. (Obsidian allows dragging a document into a sidebar pane, but it doesn't allow making it "active", even though you can click into it and edit it.) Sidebar documents are included in iterateLeaves() and getLeavesOfType("markdown"), so this plugin attempts to cycle through them. But since they cannot be made active, the previously-active leaf remains active, so the cycling stops.

One way to fix that would be for this plugin to skip such leaves when moving forward or backward. A simple way to do this is to check that the workspace.activeLeaf has actually changed after calling setActiveLeaf(). If it hasn't, then the leaf wasn't suitable, and needs to be skipped in the rotation. This approach should be forward compatible in case Obsidian ever actually allows sidebar leaves to become active.

Hi,
I often use Ctrl+Tab to switch between the last two tabs. But I noticed that when I press these keys quickly, modal appears for a short time and then disappears. It's a little annoying.

Maybe it would help to set a small delay before the modal appears, or maybe it would only appear when I release the Tab key while holding Ctrl.

I use the Ctrl+Tab hotkey for Go to previous tab. All settings except Show modal disabled.

Thanks for great plugin. This is what I was looking for!

Hi,

Shouldn't it be main.js as opposed to main.ts as per the readme?

Plugin works as advertised with the extension changed (and with it left as is strangely?)

I am new to coding so ignore me if I am missing something obvious.

Thank you for the plugin — I'm sure it's going to really help me.

As title says, when cycling through panes, the text cursor does not cycle along with the panes, specifically in edit mode. When using your plugin to move from Pane A to Pane B, Pane B does get selected—as it should, but the text cursor remains in Pane A. I would have to use my mouse—which the plugin advertised would reduce the usage of in the first place—and manually select Pane B in order to relocate the cursor accordingly; otherwise, I would be typing on Pane A when I intended to type on Pane B, even though the latter is the focused pane. It would be great that switching from Pane A to B with your plugin would also move the text cursor from Pane A to B.

Hoping you would fix this issue and improve this great plugin further. Stay safe!

In most browsers, when you press ctrl+tab and hold ctrl, a small popup window showing the thumbnails of the recent tabs will appear. It would be really nice if this plugin implements that!

For about a half a year I thought this plugin is just really buggy so I avoided using it. However I just didn't know about the view type feature. As soon I digged into it, I understood that I just have to call the "Enable this View Type" command (for excalidraw, canvas, media files ect...) and then it would actually work. So I'm wondering why not enable it for all tab types by default? I believe this would be a pleasant feature for new users ;)

It would be awesome if this plugin could cycle not only through the main note panes, but also the left and right sidebar panes. See this FR that I made on Obsidian's Discourse: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/go-to-previous-next-sidebar-pane-and-focus-on-pane/57562. However, I don't expect that to be integrated soon so having it here instead (and hopefully being able to reuse a lot of the existing logic) would be awesome!

Hello @Vinzent03 !!!!!!!!

This FR is simple to explain: it's a setting that let's the user exclude pinned notes that are opeend in the workspace to pass in the cycle route.

Example A:

→ Note A is Active
→ Note B is Pinned
→ Note C is Open

If the setting in ON the cycle commands will only cycle between Note A and Note C

Example B:

→ Note A is Open
→ Note B is Pinned and Active
→ Note C is Open

If the setting in ON:
→ the cycle commands will go to Note A and Note C to to exit the pinned note

→ then continues to cycle between only Note A and Note C

Why I am asking for this Feature

I am using pinned notes to store some support notes that will only be open when I need to interact with their content

📸 I even have a css snippet that make this notes almost hidden in the workspace:

This way I have a specific command to make this pinned note Active when need:

As will probably know I use our beloved Hotkeys for Specific Files 💙💙💙 to quick switch to these pinned notes :)

Thanks for reading this !!!!! I hope you like my suggestion 🙏 🙏 🙏

Let me know if you need more information !!!

Have a great day 🌞

Ctrl-tab works great to regular pages, but won't Ctrl-tab to the default "Empty" page. It would be great to be able to Ctrl-tab to this, mostly to allow it to be closed from the keyboard. The "No file is open" page in the screenshot.

Versions:

Obsidian v1.6.3
Tab switcher 1.4.0
Ubuntu 22.04

When I press Ctrl+Shift-U first time, tab switches. Any further keyboard input in app is ignored (can't write text too).
No error at Ctrl-Shift-I DevTools console

.... and does not cycle throught them.

Thanks for this plugin!
It can be improved by having a reverse cycling command with "Ctrl + Shift +Tab"

Great plugin but it would be nice if there was an option for it to behave like alt-tab. I know the functionality works like chrome, but alt tab makes more sense to me.

I'm looking for the ability to quickly switch between the same 2 notes:

Example: I have 4 panes open.

• on pane 1
• hit ctrl-tab (keep holding ctrl) -> now on pane 2. hit tab (since I'm still holding ctrl) -> now on pane 3
• on pane 3
• hit ctrl-tab -> goes back to previous pane (pane 1)
• on pane 1
• hit ctrl-tab -> goes back to previous pane (pane 3)

I can quickly switch between two notes without the full cycle, or I can keep holding ctrl while taping tab to cycle.

This is how alt-tab works on windows to cycle through windows.

Hi,
I'm finding that MRU cycling is not working when the "Show modal when switching tabs" option is disabled.

It's not a biggie, I'm happy to have MRU at all so thanks for that!

Great plugin!

I don't know if it is already implemented (to my knowledge not), but when I am on the first pane and want to reverse cycle (to the last pane), it does not work.

This could be an improvement:

TLDR

Improvement:

• When you are on the first pane
• and you press CTRL+ SHIFT + TAB
• You'll get to the last pane

Hello @phibr0 and @Vinzent03 !!!!

This FR is simple to explain: would be amazing if this plugin add support for the new .canvas files when we are cycle between markdown files 😀

I hope you like my idea 🙏

I wish you a fantastic day ☀️

Looks like I cannot get this Plugin to work with ctrl+Tab.

This does nothing on macOS Catalina. Any idea what to lok out for?

Currently, it is only possible to switch tabs by pressing ctrl + <number>.
ctrl seems to be the hardcoded meta key, that this plugin listens on.

I would like to see an option, which allows me to set the meta key to a key of my liking.
I am used to pressing the alt key when switching tabs, because it seems to be the default setting on Linux Firefox.

Issue description:
The modal don't appear when using Go to next/previous tab commands.
It only appears when I press Go to next/previous tab command once, then use Go to left/right tab commands.

I've enable / disabled the plugin and restarted Obsidian. I'll try to uninstall and reinstall. What else can I do?

Discussed in #20

Hi, first of all awesome pluging... Can't understand why this feature does not come automatically with Obsidian Tabs plugin. Anyway, there has been a major update which allow multiple windows, if I do ctrl+tab on a window that is not the main window then the plugin will execute the command on the main window and not in the on I'm currently on.

Hope I've described well the issue.

Sometimes when you have many tabs open, instead of ctrl+tab+tab+tab+tab... to switch over them one by one, it would be much easier and time-saving to allow just clicking on the list item and jump to that tab.

I believe mouse click is a rather natural, intuitive, consistent interactive behavior we expect to be supported by default in a dropdown list-like thing, from our experiences and convention. For example, VSC and system-level task switchers (alt+tab on Windows and cmd+tab on macOS) all support mouse actions in the switcher. Other interface components of this kind, such as auto-completion list, suggestion list, search results, command palette, IME, etc. they all support either cycling the focus through all the list items by tab, or mouse click on a certain item.

Therefore, I think it would be great if we can have this feature. And also, thanks for making this plugin!

I've installed the plugin but it's not working, any of the commands.

Things I've tried:

• Closing and reopening vault.
• Uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin.
