Re: Tab behaviour enhancements
JordanQ No, sorry, this is far from solving the problem! I can't imagine who in their right mind even approved that feature in the first place... 1. I want Alt+Tab to show me my recent Windows, not clutter my screen with my recent "activities", as they were trying to sell this "feature" (which I disabled after 5 minutes of trying it out; it was that annoying). 2. I want Ctrl+Tab to navigate between the tabs I have opened within the same window, not the most recent tabs across all browser windows. It would be nice if people wouldn't try to re-invent decade old features that work great exactly the way they are. Also, it would be nice if the MRU navigation spec (if it ever gets to this) would be written by people that actually use it and understand it properly and not by people who have no clue how it works and why it's so important to us because they're used to flick their fingers on a trackpad to do everything and the only keyboard shortcuts they're familiar with are Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V (or Cmd+C / Cmd+V, as most "artists" in charge with designing things use Macs, where they don't even have a proper Alt+Tab)... 🙁 P.S.: I might sound salty because I am... The Windows Terminal team just botched the MRU thingie and delivered a complete monstrosity, even though they used as a reference the perfect implementation of MRU tabs delivered by VS Code. It's really hard to understand how within the same company a team delivers the perfect thing (VS Code), a second team just massacres it (Terminal) and the third one can't even be bothered (Edge). 😔2.5KViews2likes1CommentRe: Tab behaviour enhancements
I don't know what dreams you're talking about; we're just asking for an optional feature (MRU Tabs). If you don't know what that is or you simply don't need it, please refrain yourself from commenting on this thread. You're not helping anyone and you're just adding unnecessary noise to this request... FYI, I've been following that Chromium feature request for the last 10 years and I've been developing Chrome extensions since before the Chrome Webstore even existed and I'm not exaggerating when I'm saying that it's impossible to implement this functionality as an extension, using the existing APIs. Also, the decision of not implementing this feature in Chromium was taken by a guy named Glenn (I don't remember his full name) that, at the time, was part of Chromium's UX team... What I remember though is a comment from him in which he stated that he simply doesn't like that feature, thus he won't agree for it to be added as a built-in feature, not even under an experimental flag...10KViews3likes16CommentsRe: Tab behaviour enhancements
As a reference, here's a link to the feature request on Chromium's bug tracker: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=5569 It's over 10 years old, has more than 500 comments, almost 1000 stars and a ton of duplicate issues... More than that, lately, even @google.com & @chromium.org users got fed up and joined the discussion requesting MRU tabs... Please make this happen! :(11KViews5likes2Comments
