IPadOS sidebar hotkey not updated to use new sidebar

nan3943

Steps to reproduce:

Select "Sidebar" for the tab view style on ipadOS, with a keyboard connected.
Press "cmd+shift+L" to open the tab view.
The old, right side tab view opens. Not the left aligned new tab sidebar.

Expected behavior:
New sidebar opens.

P.S. my occasional check in with Orion on iPadOS...and I have to say its getting quite nice.

nan3943 It’s not just the hotkey, the old sidebar is still available and acts independently of the new one on the left. Notice how the left panel only displays tab groups and not individual tabs. Perhaps @Vlad could clarify if there are plans to move the old sidebar view to the new panel?

Not sure what to do, some people like the old sidebar. We should modify the shortcut to the new one though.

IMO a fix until a better interface is thought of:

Move the left tab bar items into a menu opened by clicking the "Tab Groups" text at the top. Change this text to show current tab group. (Same concept as right sidebar bottom menu)
Implement right sidebar functionality in the now empty menu: list of tabs + search bar

Possible further improvements:

This leaves the left tab bar kind of empty. IMO the tab group interface could be nicely consolidated in a section preceding the tab list and then it isnt hidden away.
Searching brings up a list with all items from the current tab group first. Below this, further sections show any results on tabs from other tab groups, in a section with the header of the section displaying the group.
Utility: "Oh, I forgot what the page was on my iphone/mac/random tab group!" - Can just search and see it appear under the iphone section . Honestly probably quicker than manually going to the tabgroup, i bet.
