When editing a note, often I need to look something up in another node, so then I want to open the node in a new window. But when I double click that note, it opens in a new window PLUS replaces the currently opened note. That’s quite annoying ;-).
Would be great that when double clicking a note, it would only open in a new window, and leave the currently open note alone.
Additionally do mimic how browser handle that:
Middle Click could open note in new window
Ctrl + left click or Shift + left click => open note in new window.
when you’ve got a note open in Joplin. And you double click another node. The currently open node will be replaced with the double clicked one, plus the double clicked one will be opened in a new window.
Oh I see. That’s the result of the first click selecting the note when you double click. You can right click a different note and choose open in new window, to open another note without switching to that note in the original window
I’m aware of that, but it’s still a very annoying behaviour. And there shouldn’t really be a first click. If you have an event hander on double click and on click, only one of them should fire.
And I don’t like to use context menus for functions I use all the time.
Additionally, it seems that once you open a note in a separate window, you can’t change the note open in the main window (EDIT: Unless you double-click to open it in another window). The new note will flash on the screen and go back to the note you had open before. This even happens in safe mode. In my testing, the note might even open in the wrong window if you can switch windows before the main window finishes trying to open the new note.
I’d suggest opening a separate thread in the support category and including a video showing the issue (try to reproduce it on a new profile or with some test notes).
I can’t reproduce this issue on Windows, on the same version of Joplin and without plugins
