Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.100 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Open new tab. 2. Right click > pin tab 3. Pinned tab floats to left. What is the expected behavior? The pinned tabs should float to the right, while active tabs stay on the left. Or at least be arrangeable. What went wrong? Nothing went wrong, but floating pinned tabs to the right would be better for some power users. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 69.0.3497.100 Channel: n/a OS Version: 10.0 Flash Version: I like to switch between Chrome tabs with hotkeys Cmd+N (1, 2, 3...). The lowest numbers are easiest to reach with my left hand, but the pinned tabs float left, so they always take up those low-number spots. Pinned tabs should float right of the active tabs, or simply be right-aligned, with active tabs staying left so I can use Cmd+2, for example, to switch to tab 2. Pinned tabs are for background tasks like Gmail, Pandora, Slack, etc... I want to switch between active tabs more easily with hotkeys.

Pinned tabs being accessible with the numeric shortcuts is commonly cited as a key reason to pin tabs; people tend to pin things they need frequent access to. It seems like a core desire here is to not take up excess space in the tabstrip with "always-on" tabs. One workaround to achieve this is to simply drag these tabs into their own separate window. Making the order flexible is probably not a way we're willing to go for cost/benefit reasons, although it would be theoretically more feasible in the future world where we're planning to split the pinned and non-pinned containers architecturally. I'm going to close, but also send to the person working on that so they're aware of this. |
