User Interaction flow Tabs

Firstly, it’s a beautiful app - congrats on the beta release!

Some quality of life user flow considerations.

While in the editor,

  1. CMD + T (New Tab) would show the tab bar (if hidden), and open a new note

  2. CMD + W (Close window) - currently closes the application. Instead, it would be nice if it closes the current file, and go to the next tab (if there are any). If no tabs are available, it goes to the intial app opening state of having no files open.

  3. Have some shortcut for navigating around tabs. Either “Previous note” or “Next note” (e.g. if user went from tab 1 to tab 2 to tab 3, previous would bring back to tab 2, which then would have Next note be tab 3, and previous note be tab 1) or cycling through available tabs by position “left” and “right”.

  4. Have some shortcut (Can be user defined) to toggle focus between editor and sidebar to allow users to switch between notes in the side bar and hop into the editor, and hop to the sidebar and navigate up down files, left right into directories, etc.
