Cycle Latest Tab

Cycle Latest Tab is an Obsidian plugin that replaces the default tab cycling behavior (Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab) with a Most Recently Used (MRU) tab cycler, similar to how Alt+Tab works in Windows or Cmd+Tab works on macOS.

Features

• MRU Tab Cycling: Press the hotkey to cycle through your recently used tabs in the order you last viewed them.
• Visual Tab List: Displays a modal with a list of open tabs so you can see where you're switching.
• Customizable: Adjust settings for behavior or configure hotkeys to your liking via Obsidian's Hotkeys menu.

How to use

1. Enable the plugin in Settings -> Community Plugins.
2. Go to Settings -> Hotkeys.
3. Search for "Cycle Latest Tab: Cycle to previous tab" and "Cycle Latest Tab: Cycle to next tab".
4. Assign your preferred hotkeys (e.g., Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab). Note: You may need to unbind the default "Go to next tab" and "Go to previous tab" hotkeys if they conflict.
