Opening a new tab does not activate focus for the search bar. I am required to type CMD-L to get focus into the search bar.

This is on iPadOS 18.3.1 and with Orion 1.3.17.

I am using a Magic Keyboard but also tested without and got the same results. It’s infuriating and a deal-breaker for making this my main driver. Super excited to try it as soon as this is fixed.

I expect the search bar / omni-bar to get focus automatically for any new page/tab.

    Hi Nibbler, thank you for taking the time to report this issue!

    Have you tried enabling the setting "Show Keyboard on New Tab"? Does it behave as you'd expect?

    Let me know if that helps?

    Thanks for your help in making Orion a better browser!

        We'll make a change to enable this option by default for iPad users.

        Oh, that setting did help! With an external keyboard, I was worried that meant bringing up the software keyboard. Thanks!
