Tab Limiter

Tab Limiter is an Obsidian plugin that keeps the number of open Markdown tabs under a configurable limit.

When opening a new Markdown tab would exceed the limit, the plugin closes the least recently used Markdown tab instead of blocking the new tab. Switching to a tab marks it as recently used, so older inactive tabs are replaced first.

Settings

Use the plugin settings tab to choose the global maximum number of Markdown tabs. The default limit is 5.

Development

Install dependencies and build the plugin:

npm ci
npm run build

The build outputs main.js, which can be installed with manifest.json in an Obsidian vault plugin directory.
