Tab Duplicate

Duplicate a Markdown file from the tab header menu or the file explorer context menu.

Features

• Right-click any tab or file in the explorer and select Duplicate file
• Creates a -copy file next to the original with the same content
• Automatically avoids name collisions (-copy2, -copy3, etc.)
• Opens the duplicated file immediately

Installation

From Community Plugins

1. Open Settings → Community plugins
2. Search for Tab Duplicate
3. Install and enable the plugin

Manual installation

1. Download main.js and manifest.json from the latest release
2. Copy them to .obsidian/plugins/tab-duplicate/ in your vault
3. Enable the plugin in Settings → Community plugins

Usage

Right-click any tab or file and choose Duplicate file. A copy is created next to the original and opened automatically.

Publishing

Community plugins are submitted through the Obsidian Community developer dashboard, not via pull requests to obsidian-releases.

Release flow:

1. Update version in manifest.json and package.json
2. Commit and push to main
3. Create and push a matching tag: git tag 1.x.x && git push origin 1.x.x
4. GitHub Actions builds, attests, and publishes the release assets

Before tagging, run npm run lint locally.
