GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 346277
When you open a new tab the focus should be in the address bar
Last modified: 2006-07-01 19:16:13 UTC
Please describe the problem: When you open a new tab with <ctrl+t> the focus of the browser should be on the address bar, so you can start typing the address you want to visit immediately. Its true that with <ctrl+l> you can get the focus on the address bar, but I shouldn't have to press <ctrl+l>. Steps to reproduce: 1. press <ctrl+t> 2. the focus is not in the address bar. 3. Actual results: A new tab is created, and the focus is not in the address bar Expected results: A new tab should be created, and the focus SHOULD be in the address bar Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: Most other browsers already implement this. So its a little annoying when I open a new tab and start writting, I just lost everything I typed.
Hello Manuel, This bug was corrected for some time now; could you tell which version of Epiphany do yo use, to ensure the bug is in a previous version ? Thanks
Hi Baptiste, I am using version 2.14.2.1, that version is the latest one on Ubuntu Dappe. I hope that helps. And thanks for answering so quickly.
I assume that you have a "home page", and that this "home page" opens in a new tab when you press Ctrl+t. AFAIK, you have two options: * Set your "home page" to blank * Download and use the epiphany-blank-new-tab extension from http://patches.theflowerdays.com/extensions/ The first option doesn't seem satisfying to me. In order to install the extension, you have to download epiphany-blank-new-tab.py and epiphany-blank-new-tab.xml from the URL provided above, and move/copy them to ~/.gnome2/epiphany/extensions/ :)
A third option: enter the new URL without first opening a new tab, then press Ctrl+Enter. By the way, congratiulations with the 50th duplicate of bug 105153! :D *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 105153 ***
