Open Web IDE in a new tab from all contexts
Problem to solve
In most cases, when you want to make a change to a file in the Web IDE, you are navigating a project's repository or reviewing a Merge Request. In !102512 (merged), we introduced the behavior for the Open in
button to trigger the Web IDE to open in a new tab. This behavior doesn't extend to the use of the keyboard shortcut .
or for opening the Web IDE in the context of a repository.
Proposal
For consistency, open the Web IDE in a new tab when using the keyboard shortcut .
.
Consider applying the same pattern to the repository views.
Questions
- Are the use cases different enough when editing from the repository views to warrant opening in the same window?
