Cloning a tab should also clone the tab's history

Post by mac_dizzy »

Hello,

I hope this feature wish finds you well.

I think it would be great to have an option for cloning tab history when you clone a tab.

Right now, when I clone a tab, essentially a new (fresh) tab is opened up to the same location. The new tab doesn't have any navigation history, i.e. I can't use back/forward to navigate like I could in the original tab.

What I wish for is a true cloned tab. When I clone a tab, I would like the history to be cloned as well, that way I can jump to the new tab and navigate back/forward exactly how I could in original tab.

This is sort of default behavior in Windows' default File Explorer. If I'm in a folder, I can use keyboard shortcut CTRL+N to open a new File Explorer window, and the new window opens to the same location with the same navigation history. I rely on that feature regularly. I've become accustomed to it and have leveraged it in my workflows. I'm making an effort to migrate to XYplorer and this is one of the things I miss the most.

Cheers,
dizzy

Understandable but hard to do within the current architecture.
