Release list
1.1.2
Housekeeping release for the community plugin review. No behaviour changes.
Now requires Obsidian 1.7.2 or later. The plugin calls revealLeaf to bring the side group's tab to the front, and that returns a promise only from 1.7.2 onwards — the manifest had been claiming 1.4.0, which the review flagged. Dropping the call instead would have left notes opening into a hidden background tab, so the declared minimum moves up to match what the code actually needs.
Everything else is internal: the build no longer depends on builtin-modules, some unnecessary type assertions and an alias of this are gone, and the repo now runs the same lint rules the plugin directory's review bot does.
1.1.1
Fixes custom triggers not working on links in the body of a note.
A non-Mod trigger such as Alt+click worked on frontmatter property links but did nothing on wikilinks in a note body.
Live Preview was the cause: inside the editor, Alt and Shift already mean rectangular selection and extend selection, so Obsidian bails out of link handling for a plain Alt- or Shift-click before it ever decides which pane to open. The plugin now opens that gate for the chosen combo, scoped to clicks inside an editor.
No change to the default Cmd+Alt+click trigger.
1.1.0
Adds a Trigger setting: choose which click opens a note in the side group.
Available combos: Cmd+Alt+click (default, unchanged), Cmd+click, Cmd+Shift+click, Alt+click, Alt+Shift+click, Shift+click.
Combos are matched exactly, so choosing Alt+click won't also fire on Cmd+Alt+click. Picking a non-default trigger takes over whatever that combo normally does in Obsidian, and hands Cmd+Alt+click back to its default of always opening a new split.
Custom triggers go through Obsidian's own link handling, so they keep working for links in notes as well as the file explorer, search results and backlinks.
1.0.0
Initial release.
Cmd+Alt+click (Ctrl+Alt+click on Windows/Linux) opens a link in the existing tab group to the right, instead of creating a new split every time. A new split is only created when there isn't a group to the right already.
- Works for links in Live Preview and Reading mode, and for the file explorer, search results and backlinks.
- Clicking from inside the side column opens there rather than chaining a third column.
- Pinned tabs are never replaced.
- Only
Cmd+Alt+clickis overridden — the "Split right" command and other plugins keep native behaviour.
Two settings, both on by default: Keep focus in the current note and Reuse the side tab.
