Tabs
Open several notes at once and move between them.
Clicking a note in the sidebar opens it in a tab. The tab bar appears once you have two or more open.
The active tab is shown in bold with an underline. Close buttons appear on hover.

Section titled “They persist”Which tabs are open, their order, and which is active all survive a restart — per workspace, so switching workspaces switches the tab set too.
