Comment #12 on issue 6459 by TerryMorrow: "Search Google for ..." should open tab in background http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=6459
I can't agree more with OP and others who have posted here, and must say how disappointed I am with the attitude Ben has taken on this issue. I came to this page to see if I could resolve this issue that has slightly bugged me since I can remember using chromium. The biggest problem for me is the inconsistency between the behaviors of r.c.-> "open in new tab" and r.c.->"search google". In my opinion, they perform similar functions for similar reasons, for example if I see an interesting link or keyword that I want to check out later, I highlight or just right-click, and open the page in a new tab for later reading so I can continue with what I am doing now. This works fine if you use the first option, but whenever you do the second, the focus is taken to the new tab, breaking you away from whatever you were previously doing, making you search for whatever word, line, paragraph, even which tab you were on to resume where you left off. This isn't a big issue, or really that annoying, but it's like a tiny rock in your shoe - It only slightly interferes, but it interferes with such a fundamental and commonly used feature, that it builds up over time. Any relief or improvement to it, for instance adding a setting to toggle this, adding an extension, pointing someone in the right direction to do create one themselves, or a simple "sorry guys, we just don't have the time" would've been greatly appreciated. "Nope."/Wontfix is what we get instead - and it comes across like a slap in the face. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
