Mononote

This plugin ensures each note occupies only one tab per window pane. If a note is already open, its existing tab will be focussed instead of opening the same file in the current tab. Works for opening notes via links, menus, hotkeys.

For Mononote to work correctly, SettingsEditorAlways focus new tabs MUST BE ENABLED. This is because it hooks into the active-leaf-change event which is not fired for new files when this setting is disabled. Technical limitations, sorry.

Bug Reports & Discussions

I've moved all plugin discussions to the ActionsDotWork Forum which is a hub for both my Obsidian plugins and the macOS/iOS productivity apps I'm building: Carlo's Obsidian Plugins - ActionsDotWork Forum.

The forum supports single-sign-on via GitHub, Apple and Google, meaning you can log in with your GitHub account.
