- _jomo 11y agoNope, you can open the URL in a new tab by pressing Alt+Enter, so why open a new tab first? (Actually my default action in Firefox is to open a new tab from the URL bar, I use Alt to open in current tab) What is the down arrow supposed to do to the empty URL bar, though?
- garrettgrimsley 11y agoHow exactly are you doing this? I just did CMD+L and it focuses the URL bar as expected, but after typing out a URL and hitting CMD + Enter it opens the URL in the current tab. Option + Enter opens the URL in a new tab, but it also switches focus to that new tab.
- yawaramin 11y agoPressing Cmd-L, typing the URL then pressing Option-Enter is the equivalent of pressing Cmd-T then typing the URL and pressing Enter.
- garrettgrimsley 11y agoEdit: Tested and works in Google Chrome and Safari Browser. Yes but the parent comment said that they can open a URL in a new tab without automatically changing focus to that tab. This can be useful when you want to check something after you are finished on the current tab. Unfortunately it does not work as described. CTRL + T, type URL, then CTRL + Shift + Tab will open a new tab and then return to the previous tab.
- glomph 11y agoI meant that I type enough of what I want to open for it to be the first suggestion. The result is that I only do one chord though which feels easier to me. I guess it is about the same though.
