New Tab +

raphletteraphlette12k downloads

Allow to open markdown files, graph and canvas in new tab as the default behavior.

Add to Obsidian
  • Overview
  • Scorecard
  • Updates5

New Tab+ allows you to open Markdown files, graphs, canvases, images, audio, video, and PDFs in a new tab by default.

Optional feature

  • When opening a file or canvas, if the file is already open in another tab, the plugin will focus on the existing tab instead of opening a duplicate. (This feature is toggleable.)

Bugs / issues

It is my first plugin project on Obsidian so don't hesitate to report me any unwanted behavior on Github.
