Focus Mode Tab Limit Suggestions

[JEast96]

Hello,

I have been using the Min browser for a few weeks now, and I am a big fan. Thank you for creating such a great browser! I wanted to share some thoughts on how I believe the browser could be further improved.

I particularly like the Focus Mode. It would be great if I could define how many tabs I can have open at most. In Focus Mode, I can theoretically set this up before I activate it. I like to limit myself to a maximum of 4 tabs. Especially when I am on my laptop, I usually never need more tabs, and this helps me keep my browser organized.

However, what I still miss is a shortcut, similar to Ctrl+T, to switch websites. In Focus Mode, I cannot open new tabs, but I would like to activate the URL bar and leave the page I am currently on to go to a new website.

It would also be helpful to have a shortcut to switch between my tabs, similar to the virtual desktops in GNOME, for example, using Alt+1-4.

Lastly, I would like to have it so that when I am on a webpage and click on a link, it does not try to open a new tab, as that is not possible in Focus Mode. Instead, perhaps a peek view could open, or the page could load in the active tab instead of a new tab.

Thank you for considering my suggestions!

I'm glad you like it!

If you have more than 4 tabs before entering focus mode - are you thinking that we would show a popup and ask you to select a subset of the tabs to view in focus mode?

I think that you could achieve something similar by making a new task and moving your other tabs to it before activating focus mode, but I can see how a prompt would be simpler.

However, what I still miss is a shortcut, similar to Ctrl+T, to switch websites. In Focus Mode, I cannot open new tabs, but I would like to activate the URL bar and leave the page I am currently on to go to a new website.

Ctrl+L should do this already (or you can modify this in the settings).

It would also be helpful to have a shortcut to switch between my tabs, similar to the virtual desktops in GNOME, for example, using Alt+1-4.

The normal tab-switching shortcuts should still work in focus mode; let me know if they don't. The defaults are (you can modify these too):

Next:

option+command+right, ctrl+tab, shift+command+pagedown, shift+command+]

Previous:

option+command+left, shift+ctrl+tab, shift+command+pageup, shift+command+[

Lastly, I would like to have it so that when I am on a webpage and click on a link, it does not try to open a new tab, as that is not possible in Focus Mode. Instead, perhaps a peek view could open, or the page could load in the active tab instead of a new tab.

Opening in the same tab instead sounds like a good idea! Peek view might be nicer, but it's probably not worth the effort, as I don't think this feature is used very often.
