Hotkey for Recent Files

Open pivovarov1 opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Hey, It would be nice to add hotkey, for example: Ctrl + Shift + T (like in browser)

So that when you click on it:

  1. the recent file opens.
  2. If it is already open , you can go ahead and open the next file from the "Recent Files" list.

Thanks!

This is a much needed feature because how easy it will make switching between two files often.

There are already native Obsidian commands / hotkeys that do this.

  • Navigate back: ctrl + alt + ←
  • Navigate forward: ctrl + alt + →

This issue should probably be closed.

There's one thing.

  • After you release ctrl + alt + ←, now your most recent file is this one you just had showing, right?
  • Therefore, pressing ctrl + alt + ← again should navigate you back to the file you just was at, right?

So, it's kinda like the systrem's alt + tab, right? That's what I expected at least.

But instead, with Obsidian's logic, it continues to cycle through the past files.

I.e., releasing ctrl + alt doesn't change the history of recent files, so it's different than alt + tab logic.

It would be cool if this plugin provided hotkey that resemble more of alt + tab but for Obsidian notes.

It should rewrite recent history after buttons are released.
