[Feature Request] Navigation

[domoenergytics]

Often, when I'm writing a note, I jump to another note to do a little update. Then I want to go back to the first note. I have not found an easy way. Would it be possible to add navigation keys back and forward, just like in a browser?

Another navigation feature, after searching for un note, the notebook is displayed. I would like to be able to click on this name displayed to reach the notebook.

Hey there, it looks like there has been no activity on this issue recently. Has the issue been fixed, or does it still require the community's attention? This issue may be closed if no further activity occurs. You may also label this issue as "backlog" and I will leave it open. Thank you for your contributions.

I would still like to have this feature.

me too. It is very difficult to navigate back and forth without a breadcrumb menu. All GUI should have one.

I would settle for a key binding. For example ALT+left to go back. (And possibly ALT+right to go forward). So there wouldn't need to be any GUI changes (yet).

+1 for easy navigation back and forth through history of notes visited in current session, at least in desktop version.

Unfortunately, the issue did not get the attention it deserves by the community and the devs. This is a key feature for heavy users like me. I don't want so sound disrespectful Laurent. I'm using Joplin for some year now but ZIM wiki, (a 20 years old software I moved from) is still more navigable and userfriendly (i.e wysiwyg editor etc...) than Joplin. I hope Joplin will improve and catch up!

@0vermind there is an open PR for that #2563 hopefully it will get approved and this feature will be added soon

Help -> Toggle developments tools -> Paste the js code into the console

document.onkeydown = checkKey;

function checkKey(e) {
    var pressed = "";
    if(e.altKey && e.keyCode==37 ){
        console.log("back");
        document.querySelector("#react-root > div > div > div.resizableLayoutItem.rli-root > div.resizableLayoutItem.rli-editor > div > div > div > div:nth-child(2) > div > div:nth-child(1) > div > div:nth-child(1) > a:nth-child(1)").click();
    } else if(e.altKey && e.keyCode==39 ){
        console.log("forward");
        document.querySelector("#react-root > div > div > div.resizableLayoutItem.rli-root > div.resizableLayoutItem.rli-editor > div > div > div > div:nth-child(2) > div > div:nth-child(1) > div > div:nth-child(1) > a:nth-child(2)").click();
    }
