In @obsidian.md, I typically use Cmd+O to navigate between files, and I never noticed how much of a nightmare this was because of the way that Obsidian handles tab-handling, which is not at all the way that IDEs like VSCode handle it, which is what I'm used to.

When you open a new file in Obsidian, that file by default is opened in the current tab, replacing the file that you were viewing a moment before.

Whereas in IDEs, this file, if it was not already open, would have been opened in a new tab, and if it was already open, it would have switched to that already open file, not replace the current tab with the new file.

Luckily, I found a plugin (github.com/jesse-r-s-hi...) that someone had made to make Obsidian tab-handling more like VSCode. This should be the default behavior, though.
