MicrosoftImprovements to history in Microsoft Edge
MicrosoftHey everyone! This is William from the Microsoft Edge team. We know some of you really like using Ctrl+H to open the full page, so we've added a new flag under edge://flags to let you choose whether Ctrl+H opens the new history menu or the full page. This feature is now available in today's Canary build. Look for #edge-history-accelerator-override.
Along those lines, today's Canary also lets you open the full page by clicking on the Favorites/History/Downloads header in the dropdown menu or the pane, saving you a few clicks. See attached for a screenshot.
Please keep the feedback coming! We really appreciate it.
That's pretty smart move, thank you!
I do have a feedback, other people asked for it too, sent many feedbacks for it.
why isn't the Pinned state of the flyouts Not remembered?
it's really important, kinda got tired of asking for it honestly since no one listens. I really don't want to have to Pin the favorites/downloads/history/collections Every Single Time to have a sidebar. if i Pin it to make it a sidebar once, i want to see the sidebar next time i open it, until i Unpin it.
I don't know why this obvious behavior is neglected.
I currently use sidebars 0% even though i really like them, and that's all because i'm tired of having to Pin the them every time.
- William DevereuxSo glad you like it!
I can promise you we've definitely heard your feedback. We'll have more to share in the future. I'd love to learn more about why you want it to remember the pinned state though. Is it because you prefer to use the pane 100% of the time? Or do you switch back and forth between the menu and the pane but would prefer it remember the last used state until you're done with it?Yes, the second part, I switch back and forth between the menu and pane but prefer it to remember the last used state until I'm done with it.
another thing that's not being remembered is the sort options in collections flyout. when you sort collections or items inside a collections and close then reopen it, all of those sorting is lost.
I don't know what's the problem with remembering things when it comes to Edge UI but that's definitely not helping me 😕
