0.15.0

Vertical Tabs v0.15.0

🎉 What’s New: Group View & Linked Folder

Introducing Group View, a powerful new way to organize and navigate your tabs with three distinct modes:

• Continuous View: Scroll seamlessly across multiple tabs as if they were sections of a single long note.
• Column View: Arrange tabs side by side with horizontal scrolling for easy comparison.
• Mission Control View: Get an overview of all tabs in a group and quickly locate the note you need. (Double-click or press ESC to exit.)

With Linked Folder, you can instantly open a folder as a tab group—recursively or not. This is especially useful when combined with Continuous View. For example, open your Daily Notes folder as a group and edit multiple notes in a continuous scroll. Customize the number of notes loaded at a time and their loading order to suit your workflow.

✅ Improvements:

• Smarter Tab Deduplication: Vertical Tabs now estimates tab creation time, significantly improving deduplication accuracy.

• Better Internal Link Navigation: When clicking internal links, navigation now jumps directly to specific sections or headings after tab deduplication.

• More Precise Deduplication Scope: Now limited to notes, canvases, PDFs, images, and videos, preventing conflicts with other plugins.

• Customizing Zen Mode: Added an option that allows users to decide whether to automatically enable “Show active tabs only” when turning on “Zen Mode.”

• Hover Editor Compatibility: Hover Editor tabs are now hidden to ensure full compatibility.

• Smart Composer Compatibility: Vertical Tabs now works seamlessly with Smart Composer.

🐛 Bug Fixes:

• Fixed the “missing field” error in the Dev Console when using the “IDE mode”.
• Prevented pinned tabs from being deduplicated.
• Resolved an issue where toggling “Zen Mode” would override the “Show active tabs only” setting.
• Fixed a bug where the “Column View Tab Width” setting was not preserved after restarting Obsidian.
