File items

File items allow you to open a specific file, or highlight a specific folder, from your toolbar.

After selecting File, search for any file within your vault, including other file types (e.g., PDFs, images). You can also link to folders, which when selected in the toolbar, will reveal the folder in the file explorer (just like bookmarking the folder).

Tip

When clicking on a file item in the toolbar, you can use modifier keys to open it in a new tab, tab group, or window.

Advanced options

Clicking on the gear (⚙️) icon opens advanced options:

Where to open file

Choose where to open files: Default (current tab), in a Modal (read only), New tab, Split pane, or in a New window.

• By default, files will open in the current tab.
• Use modifier keys to override this setting.
• Modal window width can be adjusted (on desktop) via Style Settings.
