Hello,

I regularly jump into the tabs view by mistake and I think 2 improvements would make my life easier:

  • Having an easy way to go back to the last seen tab.
  • Highlighting the last seen tab to identify it clearly.

To reproduce the "jump into the tabs view by mistake": scroll with weird fingers (maybe I am the issue haha).

I am adding a video when I am on a pinned tab, and the pinch brings me to a part of the tabs view where the tab I was not does not appear in the list:

About the keyboard shortcut:

  1. Use weird fingers to accidently enter the tabs view.
  2. Oops, that is not what I want.
  3. Hit the keyboard shortcut (escape key?)
  4. Back to the last tab, yeah!

About the highlighting of the last tab, here is my use case:

  1. I have many tabs (in the video I have 5 pinned tabs and 10 standard tabs).
  2. Do the pinch to enter the tabs view.
  3. Oops, that is not what I want.
  4. I can identify the tab I was on and click on it to get back to business.

These 2 improvements would help me (hopefully others too) a lot to exit the tabs view.

Thanks!

    Hey @Vlad, thanks for your reply.

    I have Safari Version 17.4 (19618.1.15.11.12) and hitting the escape key brings me back to the last seen tab:

    Related to the previously mentioned "highlight", I don't see anything to identify which was the last tab visually in Safari.
