Split tab's reload/tab close behavior

[Simon Hong]

Hi,

When split tab is activated, reload and close tab affects both tabs in split tab.

Ex, "CMD + w" closes all two tabs in that split tab instead of closing only active tab.

Is this intended behavior?

Thanks!

Simon,

The current behavior implemented is described below,

Entrypoint	Reload Behavior
Toolbar Button	Reload active tab
Keyboard Shortcut	Reload active tab
Tab Context Menu	Reload both tabs
Entrypoint	Close Behavior
Tab Context Menu	Close = Both tabs Arrange Split View = Close left or right view
Toolbar Button	Close left or right view
Tab Close Button	Close associated view
Minitoolbar Menu	Close associated view
Keyboard Shortcut	Close both tabs
Entrypoint	Activate Behavior
Clicking Tab	Last active tab within split view
Keyboard Shortcut	Jump to specific tab activates that tab
Tab Search	Activates specific tab that was selected
Focusing while Split View is Active	Focusing activates the corresponding tab

Regards,

Eshwar

Reload behavior seems different between the latest canary( 141.0.7387.1)  and you shared.

Reload button in toolbar, keyboard shortcut and reload menu from tab ctx menu all reload both.

Oh, I didn't know that flag. Thanks.

Is there any plan to have a similar flag for closing tabs? (ex, closing only active tab from shortcut)
