Is there a "in new window" for the various Vomnibar and LinkHints functions?

[parogen]

Say for Vomnibar.activateInNewTab, is it possible to have Vomnibar.activateInNewWindow alternative? As well as for links, history, bookmarks?

Partially related is that when I use moveTabToNewWindow, the page is not focused and I need to click on the page to access vimium. While openUrl, createTab reuse="new-window", as well as Ctrl-N (new window) with Vimium C NewTab Adapter all seem to focus on the page and allow me to use vimium immediately.

If yes, it would also be nice for the options page to be able to open in a new window as well.

Upon further testing, it was only some that I could not use the reuse="new-window" parameter on. The ones I found that could not were LinkHints.activateOpenInNewTab, LinkHints.activateOpenInNewForegroundTab, Vomnibar.activateEditUrlInNewTab, LinkHints.activateOpenVomnibar, Vomnibar.activateInNewTab, Vomnibar.activateHistoryInNewTab, Vomnibar.activateBookmarksInNewTab

Yes the two groups of commands doesn't support the reuse parameter. It's because they're implemented much earlier than the reuse feature.

For LinkHints.*, you may add newtab="window" or newtab="last-window" to ensure Vimium C opens a URL in a new window or another just-opened/visited window. While this means you may not use Ctrl and Shift to switch among different modes any more.

As for Vomnibar, sorry again there's no way to do so now. If you do want to open URL in a new window, you may create a custom search engine like:

nw: vimium://run/openUrl#reuse=new-window&#url=$S Open In New Window

And then: 1) open Vomnibar and type query words, 2) press ArrowDown to select an item, 3) move text caret to the start of input box and prepend "nw ", 4) press Enter

As for this issue, it sounds like a bug.

Do you use Linux-based desktop systems and Firefox? If so, then this may be a long-standing issue that

• with some desktop window managers on Linux and Firefox, to create a new window may make an existing tab lose focus and there's no perfect way to fix it.

I am on Windows 10 and Firefox. As mentioned, it's specifically with that function only. Other ways of opening a new window or switching to another browser window (like move tab between existing windows) through Vimium do not have this issue for me.

The new parameter works for the non-Vomnibar Linkhints functions. I think incorporating a search keyword just for new window is a bit much for me. There is already an existing way of opening the new tab, then using moveTabToNewWindow afterwards (though ironically I have the mentioned issue), if more steps is not a burden.
