Description
Summary
Currently, pressing ctrl+T has no defined behavior for opening the omnibox in a new context. This issue proposes binding ctrl+T to open the omnibox and let the user decide (or configure) where the new page should land.
Desired behavior
When ctrl+T is pressed, the omnibox opens and the resulting navigation target opens in one of the following modes (user-selectable or configurable):
- New empty tab — classic browser behavior, a blank tab with the omnibox focused
- Stacked pane — opens as a new pane stacked vertically in the current layout
- Split pane — opens as a horizontal split alongside the current view
- Floating pane — opens as a floating overlay, useful in tiling WM workflows
Motivation
Dumber targets tiling WM users who expect flexible, keyboard-driven navigation. A single ctrl+T shortcut that integrates with the existing pane/layout system would make opening new content feel native to that workflow, rather than forcing a context switch to reach the omnibox.
Acceptance criteria
-
ctrl+Tfocuses the omnibox (reusing the existing omnibox component) - The navigation result opens in a new empty tab by default
- At least one of stacked / split / floating pane modes is supported
- The target mode can be triggered by a modifier key combo or a config option (e.g.
ctrl+shift+Tfor split) - Behavior is documented in keybindings reference
