I expected Cmd+Shift+T to open the last closed tab, but that opens the last closed window. Muscle memory is a thing, I would like to keep using my old shortcuts.

    In my view, this should be a power user browser which aims for simplicity while allowing a limited amount of customization. Thinking of this, I do not want comand-line level super duper customizaiton as this would basically be another vim-like browser, and this is very precisely the reason why I uninstalled Firefox, because the staggering amount of control which it gives to the fine tweaking of the browser in its security policies sucked so much of my time out, including using uMatrix, Ublock origin custom filters, and much more cognitive load on my primitive brain has already caused a cognitive burnout, so I simply resorted to Safari for easy, braindead web reading, and finally testing Orion although it's reader mode can't really compare to Safari's reader mode's detection…

    anonym Normally it does open last closed tab.

    In what scenario does it open the last closed window (steps to reproduce...)? Can you compare that behavior to safari?

    What is a Ctrl F bar?

      Sorry it took this long to answer (I only run Mojave on an external disk only and it's a bit bothersome to do so every time I want to test Orion).

      I'm using Version 0.99.114-beta (WebKit 614.1.12) on macOS 10.14.6 with Orion in Private mode and Cmd+Shift+T opens the last closed window (instead of the last closed tab) every single time for me. Here's a video:

      Safari in private mode opens the last normal mode tab or window that was closed last upon pressing Cmd+Shift+T.

      Safari in normal mode opens up the last closed tabs and windows in closing order:

      Orion too behaves this way in normal mode, but has an UI bug in the tab bar (the re-opened tab has no "tab"):

      Summary:

      • Cmd+Shift+T doesn't open last closed tab in private mode
      • Cmd+Shift+T won't show the tab of the reopened site in the tab bar in normal mode (at least with the window being half size)

      What is a Ctrl F bar?

      As to the "Ctrl F bar" which I believe I wrote about in a different thread, I meant the thing that appears when you press Cmd + F that let's you search (sorry for confusing Ctrl with Cmd), it would be nice if the bar disappeared the way it appears, by pressing Cmd+F again. But I will make this another suggestion if I haven't done so already.

        Now that is an explanation we can appreciate 🙂

          Done (macOS allows native remapping of shortcuts)

          anonym Will close as it seems to be working same as Safari now, can you confirm?
