Disable Tabs in Obsidian

Disables the ability to open multiple tabs, enforcing a single-tab interface.

Closing or opening new tabs will always replace the current tab with the new one, even replacing pinned tabs.

Particularly useful when hiding the tab bar with the Hider plugin.

You can also hide the tabs button on mobile in settings.

Made for Vault CMS

Part of the Vault CMS project.
