Is there any shortcut to open a new tab next to the focused one? Ctrl+T opens it at the end of all tabs.

Hi, I have read the article about shortcuts, I didn't know all of that was possible. But I did not find the only thing I was looking for. I generally have lot of tabs open. So often I need to open a new tab next to the one I am working in (the one with focus). But when I press ctrl+t the new tab is opened at the end of all other tabs, and I need to move it where I want. Is there a quickest way to open it directly there, next to the one with focus? Thanks

Hello Lukasaege

(hope I spelt that right XD)

The way I always do it is by right clicking a link and pressing "open link in new tab" and this works for me. (just tried it now) I have yet to find a hotkey for it but it is a work around :)

Hope this helped Brad

Hi,

yes, I also do that when I need to open a link, but sometimes I just need to open a blank tab to do stuff related to the tab in focus, but not related to a link on it. So that I would need an option to open a new tab right next to the one in focus. Thanks anyway.

Hi again

I think an addon may provide the service you are looking for. I looked about and found a few . Hope it meets your needs.

Hi, thanks again, the idea is nice, didn't think of it. I will try it tomorrow with the desktop version. On android it does not install. Cheers
