How to Keep Current Page Open While Opening a New Page in Logseq?

Hello Logseq Community,

I hope you are all doing well.

I am currently facing an issue when using Logseq. Whenever I perform a search on a subject and try to open a new page from the search results, the new page replaces the current page I am working on. This disrupts my workflow as I need to keep my current page open while exploring additional information.

Could anyone kindly advise on how to open a new page from search results without closing the page I am currently working on? Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your assistance!

Best regards,

  • If you want to open a page, try Shift + click
  • If you want to open a text-search result, try Ctrl + Enter

Thanks for your time and answer @mentaloid ;
Unfortunataly the shift + click that i had found previously in the forum and short cut open the page in the side bar
What i m searching for, if that exist of course, is the possibility to open directly a new page in the main view of the logseq app without closing the older one, to have mulitple page in the same time;
For now the only option that i found is to “pin” the current page with the red thumbtack before using the classic “search a a page” + “click” = open

Best regards,

For such functionality, you should look at plugins.

In Logseq, you have the main window (between the left and right sidebar) which can only show one page at the time. Like mentaloid said, there might be a plugin that changes this (I’m not sure, I haven’t checked), but by default the main window can only show one page.

If you want to open multiple pages at once, the only built-in option is to use the right sidebar. That’s how Logseq is designed to be used: one main page in the middle, and one or multiple pages in the right hand sidebar.

The only other alternative is to open multiple Logseq windows (click File > New window in the uppermost menu on your screen, or use Ctrl + n or Cmd + n to open a new window). However, with this you cannot search in one window and open the page in another window.
