demonstar55@ Thanks for the issue. As per the above description, this looks like a feature request to keeping current tab in focus. Marking this as Untriaged for further updates from Dev and adding appropriate labels to it. Thanks..!

Note that one way to do this is with a middle-click with a mouse. But it should also be possible to do this via keyboard with Windows-enter. I'll investigate why this isn't happening.

Would Alt+Shift+Enter be a better shortcut? Like the Mac shortcut, but the behaviours for foreground and background are flipped. Having it on a Windows key makes it so that there is an additional modifier key to remember: Ctrl, Alt, Win, each with different behaviours.

@3: Why would a user expect win+enter to do this? Aren't win+<...> shortcuts usually supposed to be reserved for the OS? If we didn't have the stupid historical "add .com" behavior on ctrl-enter, that'd be the obvious thing to pick. As it is... I would either change that anyway (is this useful anymore?) or else follow comment 5 and use alt-shift-enter. |
