Feature: Only execute certain actions once

[yaira2]

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

Holding down ctrl + t will keep opening tabs until the user releases the keys. In order to reduce the risk of crashing the app, we should only open a single tab. Depending on the context, we should do this for other shortcuts as well.

Requirements

• [x] Only open a single tab when holding down ctrl + t
• [x] Only close one tab when holding down ctrl + w
• [x] Only refresh tab once when holding down ctrl + r
• [ ] Only go back once when holding down alt + left
• [ ] Only go forward once when holding down alt + right

Files Version

v2.4

Windows Version

Windows 11

I took the liberty to edit the feature tracking so we have a task for each need. @yaira2 the issue should be renamed to better reflect the work needed, something like "Feature: Execute navigation between tabs only once on navigation commands"

Thank you

Only close one tab when holding down ctrl + w Only refresh tab once when holding down ctrl + r

These two are already implemented

@ferrariofilippo are you sure? Holding down ctrl + w seems to close multiple tabs.

I'll check but I won't be able to do that until Monday

It seems it happens only some times, I'll try to figure out why
