[KailashGanesh]

Fix for Issue #5200

Problem

Pressing Cmd + Enter in the URL bar behaved inconsistently depending on how the URL bar was selected:

• Cmd + L → Opened in a new tab
• Cmd + T → Opened in the same tab

Bug demonstration:

Fix

Now, Cmd + Enter will consistently open the URL in a new tab, regardless of whether the URL bar was selected using Cmd + L or Cmd + T.

Let me know if any improvements are needed

I think your bug is already fixed on twilight but not in zen browser 1.7.6b beta.

cmd + L => opens in the same tab
cmd + T => opens a new tab

this is expected behaviour and currently works as it is in twilight.

why do you need an extra step to open a new tap by adding cmd + enter?

You are right about cmd + L and cmd + T being for URL bar selection and new tabs.

why do you need an extra step to open a new tap by adding cmd + enter?

The cmd + enter bug fix is about consistent behavior with browsers like Chrome / Arc. pressing cmd + enter after typing a URL in the address bar will always open it in a new tab in those browsers.

In Zen, if you use cmd + L, type url and then press cmd + enter it would open URL in new tab
but if you use cmd + T, type url and then press cmd + enter it would open URL in the same (already occupied) tab
