161870 - Cursor should go to the URL bar automatically when new tab is opened

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 162001

(Camino Graveyard :: Toolbars & Menus, enhancement)

Description

[Julian C.]

I'm not sure if this used to be the case in older versions / nightly builds of
Chimera, but it would make things more convenient if, when a new tab is opened
with Command-T, the cursor is automatically put in the URL bar, so that to enter
an address you just start typing.  As it is you have to click there when you
open a new tab, which is slightly annoying.

Sorry for the spam; forgot my comment.

I would also appreciate this change and have read that several people on the
e-mail list do as well.

Focus should be given to the URL in new, blank tabs only. Tabs that load a URL
other than [about:blank] give focus to the content pane.

If you're reporting that new, blank tabs don't focus the URL Bar, then this is a
dup of bug 162001.

Yes, tabs that load content show focus on content window - see bug 159814. 

Duping this one since it has to do with new tabs.
