MicrosoftImprovements to history in Microsoft Edge
can confirm this feature no longer works as of today. 97.0.1072.55 (Official build) (64-bit)
William Devereux This is literally critical for my workflow and forces me to switch to another browser vendor ASAP. Removing features without fallbacks is non-negotiable in my book.
kamikatze13 Agreed. What a terrible regression. Why not give us the option? It's such a basic feature and decades of muscle memory.
For the shortcut key, which is predominantly used by "power users" that I might assume want to see the full page.
Until then, I've installed https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/autocontrol-keyboard-shor/lkaihdpfpifdlgoapbfocpmekbokmcfd that, using "native extension" APIs, can properly control the shortcut combo. It needs a 300 KB "helper" app, but that allows it to 100% override Edge's confusing behavior. Here's how I've set it up. The "Peek Tabs" autofocuses the newly-created tab.
Still, what a ridiculous workaround. Is there any explanation forthcoming from Microsoft? What is wrong with a simple toggle?
You've add time to add:
...visual search
...QR codes
...two different PDF viewers
And not a single toggle for CTRL+H history full-page. 😞
- I've returned to Edge just to check if this feature is back.
Nothing as far as I can see.
