Ctrl + T to open new tab with container selector? #314

Open ksze opened 5 years ago

ksze commented 5 years ago

Is there a way to make it so that when I press Ctrl + T, it opens a new tab with the container selector, like the one you see when you try to open a link from an external application?

Ctrl+T opens a new tab in the current container only if you have your Firefox-Startpage settings for a new tab on default. Otherwise it opens a new tab in the default container. about:preferences#home -> Startpage -> New Tabs -> Firefox-Startpage (default). This is a bug, see here: https://github.com/kesselborn/conex/issues/252

An other option is to use '+' sign beside the tab and use the middle mouse button (about:config -> browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick = true) or press Ctrl and use the left mouse button.

@ding-dang-do I think you misunderstand me. I want to see a container selector in the new tab that Ctrl+T opens. The current behaviour is getting either 1) a blank page in the default container or 2) the Firefox Home page in the same container as my last focused tab.

I mean this container selector, the one that you would get if you opened a link from an external application:

I think you can't do this with Ctrl+T, but with the conex popup menu. Open it with the mouse or Ctrl+Space and click on the '+' sign of the desired container. This will open a new tab in the right container directly.

Hi, this is currently not possible but something I want to add after the refactoring (which will take time)

Cheers
