back button doesn't work correctly

Open hannesdelbeke opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

i use the back and forward buttons on my mouse to navigate to the previous note (page) i came from. this works by default in Obsidian.

after installing this plugin, the back and forward behaviour changes. i can go back to a page, but now the note has focus. and i can't click back again, to go back 2 pages

if i press esc, i can click back again. so instead of doing back back back, i now have to do back esc back esc back esc

this sadly prevents me from using this plugin.

this might be related to https://github.com/shichongrui/obsidian-reveal-active-file/issues/11

Came to report this same issue.

Yes, this is caused by the focus bug in #11.

  • After this plugin reveals the file in the explorer, press up or down arrow keys to see the navigation panel has the focus.
  • Forward, back, next tab, previous tab will all be sent to the navigation panel instead of the editor panel.

Meta + Opinion: This #21 issue should remain open because it specifically describes a UX bug that needs to be patched for the user. However the implementation that closes #11 will ideally also close this #21.
