User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:150.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/150.0

Steps to reproduce:

I'm using both Windows and Linux frequently, and has a habbit of Alt+Tab around all the time, and usually holding Alt a bit more after Alt+Tab (so that the windows preview is keep showing).

This makes me frequently activate Split View by accident by clicking another tab while not releasing the Alt key yet after an Alt+Tab.

Actual results:

Split View joined two tabs.

Expected results:

Either:

  • Split View refrain to join tabs while holding Alt after Alt-Tab
  • Disable Alt+Click to join tabs as an option
