Group Tabs 1.1.6

Routing change was isolated successfully without altering group membership, history, export, drag-and-drop, restoration, or popup behavior. Navigation now follows the same rule from:

• File Explorer
• Search results
• Recent Files
• Bookmarks
• Backlinks
• Quick Switcher
• Graph results
• Internal links
• Compatible third-party navigation panes

A group member opens inside the group tab. A non-member opens in an existing ordinary tab when available, otherwise in a new tab. Embedded-note events are ignored unless the group leaf itself actually changes files.

The silent CSS correction from column-gap to gap is also included.

Group Tabs 1.1.5

Fixes and updates:

• Recent tab groups now use compact, flat Obsidian navigation styling instead of card-like rows.
• Right-click any history entry for:
• Open group
• Open group in new tab
• Rename group
• Export group as markdown
• Pin group to top or Unpin group
• Remove from history
• Open group context menus also include pinning.
• Pinned groups remain at the top, persist across restarts, survive Clear history, and do not count against the history limit.
• Clear history now removes only unpinned groups.
• Renaming a history entry also renames its matching open group.
• Removing a history entry leaves any currently open group untouched.
• Exporting from history uses the existing Markdown export settings and formatting.

Group Tabs 1.1.4

Redesigned history:

• Recent tab groups now opens as a persistent left-sidebar view, styled as a compact navigation list.
• The ribbon action is registered only after Obsidian finishes restoring the workspace.
• A disconnected ribbon element is recreated automatically.
• Repeated ribbon or command-palette use focuses the existing sidebar instead of opening duplicate overlays.
• Groups remain sorted by their latest structural change.
• Group names truncate cleanly, with member counts aligned on the right.
• Normal click opens the group in the last active main tab.
• Ctrl-click on Windows/Linux and Cmd-click on macOS opens it in a new tab.
• Clear history is available in the sidebar toolbar.
• The sidebar refreshes immediately after creating, renaming, reordering, modifying, deleting, or clearing groups.

Allow grouping notes and tabs and export of groups as markdown.

• Drag one native tab over another for 500 ms to create a named group.
• Compact Group name · count control with popup member list and close button.
