Target Pane 0.1.2

0.1.1

Target Pane 0.1.1

Code-quality pass addressing the automated review. No user-facing behavior changes.

Changes

• Command names no longer repeat the plugin name (now shown as Set to the active pane and Clear).
• Use activeDocument instead of document so link clicks are also captured in pop-out windows.
• Typed loadData() result and removed an unnecessary type assertion.
• Minor internal cleanup.

0.1.0

Target Pane 0.1.0

First release. 🎯

Designate a pane as your target, and note links open there instead of hijacking the pane you're reading in. Built for a "read on the left, open references on the right" workflow.

Features

• Set / clear a target pane with two commands; a status-bar indicator shows on/off.
• Note links (links to another note, including the link icon on embedded notes) open in the target pane:
  • Click → replaces the target pane's currently active tab.
  • Cmd/Ctrl-click → opens a new tab in the target pane.
• In-page links (#heading / ^block) stay in the pane you clicked.
• Cmd/Ctrl-Alt-click (split) and new-window opens are left to Obsidian's natural behavior.
• The target is remembered across reloads and restarts; closing the target pane turns targeting off automatically.
