Public bug reported: Binary package hint: epiphany-browser
This is an enhancement request. When creating a new tab, Epiphany wants to open the homepage, which forces me to wait until the page updates the web address, at which point I can then hit Ctrl+L to type my web address. The alternative is to do what the competition does: Firefox, and IE open a new blank new page when Ctrl+T is pressed, and the focus goes to the location bar, so that the user can just simply type in a new web address. Chrome opens a new page (google.com, go figure) in the new tab, and puts the focus in the location bar. I have created a patch that provides the FF+IE new-tab functionality to epiphany. I have created a video clip that demonstrates the improved experience. Watch it here: http://superunprivileged.org/ephy-tabs.ogv Patch applies to 2.24.1-0ubuntu1 version in Intrepid. Tested with the mozilla engine. ** Affects: epiphany-browser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- ctrl+T should open a blank page on a new tab, and activate the toolbar https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/358082 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
