Focus is lost after deleting tab via Ctrl+Backspace #76

Open shallowbit opened 5 years ago

shallowbit commented 5 years ago

On windows 10, firefox 68.01

After deleting a tab via the browser dropdown with ctrl-backspace, focus is lost completely. This makes deleting more than one tab at a time more difficult.

I propose that focus is left with the next tab in the search results. This is the native behavior for most dialogs.

I can add to this that if trying to delete multiple tabs using the mouse, the close button moves slightly up and down depending on the title of the window which is at the top. After a couple of clicks closing windows there's a high chance of ending up clicking on the window instead and switching over to it.

This means that, although I found that this extension is great for rapidly searching for tabs over multiple windows (which I wanted) I couldn't really find a way to rapidly close multiple tabs which is what I really wanted from it. If either the keyboard shortcut or multiple clicks had worked then the extension would have been great for me.
