Improvements to history in Microsoft Edge

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. 😞
