Combining tab stacking with verticle tabs for limited screen space

[harsspartan118]

I am a heavy Obsidian user who has saturated both sidebars. I want to keep my kanban board always easy to reach, so I have been stacking my tabs (as seen in the screenshot below). So, my main problem is the limited space on my screen. I was hoping that if I can just keep my kanban board (Project manager plugin) as a stacked tab. While all the remaining tabs will be unstacked (arranged vertically or horizontally). I can get the best use out of my screen. I understand there may be better ways than that. And this may not even be a problem for the Vertical tabs plugin to solve. Still, it will be a very welcome solution for people like me. 😄

Sorry for the wait! I'm trying to come up with a clean solution that works for you and everyone else. I think you want a one-click way to access your Kanban tab without having Vertical Tabs in the sidebar all the time. I'm assuming you don't need the content constantly visible, just a faster way to jump to it. Does that sound right?

Here is my idea: You can already pin a tab and sort it to the front. I'd like to make pinned tabs "sticky" so they stay in view and don't get pushed off-screen when you have a lot of tabs open. What do you think? Like this:

This looks fantastic! Much better than what I was thinking. Thank you!
