Description
When the omnibar is displayed by a shortcut for a new tab, render it visually different than the omnibar replacing the URL of the current tab. Possible solutions from the top of my head:
-
- as prefixed icon before the omnibar text or input
- t+ as prefixed icon before the omnibar text or input
As I think of that, you maybe to the exact opposite, render the replace-current-tab omnibar with as vim's :ls command displays its files:
- "a" as prefixed icon before the omnibar text or input to signal that the current active tab will be affected by choosing an URL
