New tabs created from keyboard shortcuts on iPad don’t automatically select address bar

WolfinCore

Basically what it says on the tin, here are some steps to reproduce.

Use Orion on the latest version of iPadOS.
Use a keyboard (I’m using the Magic Keyboard) with said iPad.
Use the cmd+t shortcut to open a new tab.
Focus isn’t given to the address bar

Expected behaviour: the address bar is auto-selected like on macOS

Workaround:
You need to manually select the address bar or issue cmd+L to highlight the bar manually.

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

We'll make a change to enable the "Show Keyboard on New Tab" setting by defult for iPad users. This will only affect new installs, when the default value for preferences are written.

For existing users, please enable the setting "Show Keyboard on New Tab" manually:

Let me know if that helps?

Thanks for your help in making Orion a better browser!

That’s perfect, thank you!!
