As you may know, you can launch Jupyter Notebook with a specific file to open with `jupyter notebook myfile.ipynb` I would love to have something similar for jupyterlab, as well as a command-line switch to enable this single-document mode: `jupyter lab --single-doc myfile.ipynb` FYI, here is more discussion about the single-document mode, including several other community experiments for this: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/8450 I've opened an issue for opening files from the command line: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/8959 > > "We're really excited about some of the improvements coming in JupyterLab > 3.0 (targeted for release before JupyterCon), especially in the > single-document mode that makes it much more approachable, similar to the > simplicity you get in the classic Notebook." > > That sounds great.
