Option to focus on the omnibox by default (when a physical keyboard is enabled) #131

Hello,

First of all, thank you for this great browser! :+1:

Maybe a little suggestion though:

When opening a new tab, having the focus on the omnibox by default, when we don't have a custom home page set as "new tab page" at least because maybe this page has a main input field or has keyboard shortcuts and the user wants to be able to use them immediately would be cool (so probably only when using the default new tab page, at least the private mode one).

Currently, I use CTRL+T (to open a new tab) then CTRL+L (to focus manually the address bar) but not very practical I think.

It's useful IMHO and for information, it's the case in Google Chrome, Brave Browser and Firefox Focus (but not in Firefox, Opera nor Samsung Internet Browser). Maybe it's the desired behavior in Kiwi Browser however? If so, maybe allow this as an option therefore?

Thanks in advance and... kudos! :wink:
