Tab History

[nony]

When multiple tabs are opened, right clicking an inactive tab shows the tab history of inactive tab but selecting anything from popup changes the location of current tab. Doesn't this action has to change the location of that tab from where popup menu was created?

I would also expect it to change the location of that tab from where the pop-up menu was created and then to focus to that tab (make it be the current one). So as it is now does not seem to be the expected behavior (at least not to me).

Yes, kind of agreed. But it works like this for many years now and nobody ever complained. Could that mean that there is a use in it? At least I can see a possible use in the current behavior. And, adding to this, I see no much use in changing the current path of a background tab.

+1 from me as well. I hadn't used that option -- I would change to the tab first and then navigate. If this option were available, that'd be nicer for me!

if my guessing about what admin talks is right, then i find it much more useful, than saving one click but disabling this "go to other's tab history location".

This is for people who are not aware of injecting a location:

Code: Select all

v5.50.0008 - 06.01.07 12:26
    + Tab headers: now, when you right-click the icon in any tab-header, 
      the breadcrumb menu of that tab's location is popped up at your 
      mouse cursor. Cool. But even cooler: when you select a path 
      portion in that breadcrumb menu then the location of the *current 
      tab* is changed accordingly. So you can "inject" locations from 
      other tabs into your current tab!

I think its a cool feature. But seems like others don't think so here.

Oh yeah, thanks for digging this out!

I see the other possible side..
But I thought it would be cool if right clicking the tab makes that active...Would save few clicks while shuffling with tabs..
