The Tabout plugin enhances cursor navigation in Obsidian by allowing users to use the <kbd>Tab</kbd> key to move the cursor to specific positions within markup environments. This functionality simplifies editing by enabling seamless transitions to desired parts of the text. Users can also define custom rules for specific environments, tailoring the behavior to their needs. Adding rules involves specifying characters to jump to, making the plugin versatile for various markup styles. This feature is especially helpful for improving workflow efficiency in structured editing scenarios.

The Navigate Cursor History plugin enhances navigation in Obsidian by tracking the most recent 50 cursor positions, allowing users to move back and forth between them, similar to functionality in VSCode. This feature makes it easier to revisit recent edits or views within a note. The plugin automatically records cursor positions every second, though the history is not saved permanently. If a new move is made during navigation, the forward history is reset. Users can also assign hotkeys for quick access to the 'Go back' and 'Go forward' commands, improving workflow efficiency.
