Hey all, I think opening a new tab in background in a fast way/without leaving the current page is very useful. I had an extension for that but it's no longer possible because webext API does not offer that possibility. That's why I'm following this bug closely. However now I'm surprised. Here are all the things that happen on Firefox nightly 64.0a1 (2018-09-06) (64-Bit):
ctrl: add www..com ctrl shift: www.com (should be add www..com in new window?) shift: new window foreground alt: new tab foreground alt ctrl: add www..com and open in new tab foreground alt shift: nothing happens, should be default action in tab background or new window background? alt shift ctrl: www.com new tab background The name/description of this bug is "Inconsistent "open in new tab" shortcuts (Ctrl+Enter for links, but Alt+Enter in address bar and search bar)" So I think the changes now are useful, but do they solve the original issue? Ctrl+Enter still doesn't open a new tab in background, like it does everywhere else. I suggest: ctrl: open in new tab in background shift: open in new window in foreground alt: Doesn't matter to me, maybe add www..com so people who want it still have it or keep it as new tab in foreground (but what's the advantage of that? just hit ctrl+t) ctrl shift: open in new window in background alt shift: like alt but in new window in foreground alt ctrl: like alt but in new background tab alt shift ctrl: like alt but in new window in background What do you think? Sorry, I don't want to stand in the way of closing this or marking it as fixed, but it doesn't seem to address the original point to me. Anyway thanks for the changes and reading this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66566 Title: Inconsistent shortcuts for new tab To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/66566/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
