Paul and Brent synced, and are good to go with the following:

• Option 1
  • Checkbox w/ persistent language (“Skip this menu when using tab key”)
  • Divider line between option

Moving settings update to its own bug since the address bar update could take a bit of time to approve.

Hi! Quick question about this item.

When I opened the context menu by right-clicking, I wasn't sure what "this menu" in the "Skip this menu when using the tab key" label referred to. Would it make sense to show this item only when the context menu is opened from the result menu? Or perhaps only when it's opened via the Tab key? What do you think?

Thanks!

100%, only when opened via the result menu… and if it's possible to do only when opened using the tab key then that makes sense too. Thanks!
