Open Repo in new tab from Fuzzy Finder

3 votes

I rely on the Fuzzy Finder > Open Repo command a lot to quickly open repo.

Current behavior is that the selected repo is opened in "replacement" of the currently opened tab, which ends up messing with my brains as the list of open tabs changes.

I would like an option to open the repo in a new tab. It could either be a general settings ("always open in new tab") or a custom shortcut (maybe if "Cmd" is pressed when I press Enter, then it opens a new tab).

For comparison I'm a big fan of the `Ctrl+R` features of VSCode to switch to another project. And if Cmd is maintained, then it opens the projects in a new VSCode window instead of replacing the currently open project

Either making "opening a repo in a new tab" be the default "open repo" behaviour - or at least allowing it to be a toggleable option - would be very convenient.
Often I will realise I need to check a different repo, open it (without remembering to start a new tab first), and then be frustrated by the previous repo I was working in no longer being open. I suspect I'm not alone in this!

Have you tried Command T to open a new tab, and then fuzzy finder to open repo? This flow works for me
