In Trilium, tabs allow easy switching between notes.

## Layout

Depending on the <a class="reference-link" href="Vertical%20and%20horizontal%20layout.md">Vertical and horizontal layout</a>:

*   For the vertical layout, the tabs will be placed at the top but to the right of the <a class="reference-link" href="Note%20Tree.md">Note Tree</a>.
*   For the horizontal layout, the tabs will be placed at the top in full-width, above the [note tree](Note%20Tree.md), allowing for more tabs to be comfortably displayed.

## Interaction

*   To create a new tab, press the ![](1_Tabs_image.png) button that is to the right of the last tab.
*   To close a tab, press the corresponding ![](Tabs_image.png) button.
*   For multitasking, tabs can be used alongside <a class="reference-link" href="Split%20View.md">Split View</a>. Each tab can have one or more notes, displayed horizontally.
*   Tabs can be reordered by drag-and-dropping it into a new position.
*   An existing tab can be displayed in a new window by dragging the tab upwards or downwards. It is not possible to combine tabs back into another window.

## Keyboard interaction

Since tabs are a commonly used feature, there are multiple keyboard shortcuts that can be used:

*   <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>T</kbd> to open a new tab.
*   <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>W</kbd> to close the current tab.
*   <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>T</kbd> to reopen the last closed tab.
*   <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Tab</kbd> and <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Tab</kbd> to go to the next or previous tab.
*   <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>1</kbd>, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>2</kbd>, up to <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>9</kbd> to activate the first, second and up til ninth tab.
*   There is also a shortcut to go to the last tab, but it is not assigned a key by default.
