Summary0016393: Tabs: Improved behavior/usability for opening new tabs
Description1) Open in new tab behavior in modern browsers causes a new tab to open, but focus doesn't shift to the new tab. Since this is the expected behavior for most users, when users CTRL-click a node to open it in a new tab, MM shouldn't shift focus to the new tab.

2) When clicking the '+' button to open a new tab, a duplicate of the current view opens, potentially wasting a lot of time since it's unlikely that the user wants to use the current view (they've opened a new tab because they want a different view). With that in mind, MM should open a node that loads immediately e.g. the 'Home' node or no node?

1) is already fixed based on my tests

2) I don't think that Home loads immediatelly (especially when it is in the 'Graph' mode)
It is impossible to tell which node loads immediatelly and which node user wants to use, and because it loads on background and loading is cancelled on node switching then I would prefer to keep current behaviour to open "copy" of the current tab node/view.
