    Tab only works with q+tab


    Seemingly randomly my computer will decide that tab can only work if I press q+tab and when I don't it'll press q and then tab which can stop alt+tab from working and it's a pointless feature so I'd really like to be able to fix it.

    Command line/tab

    QUESTION/suggestion:
    * Why not remember the last active tab?
    For example, if you are on tab 2 and close the program, then run it again, for the program to open tab 2 again. But if the -tab X command-line option is used, then the program goes to X tab, regardless of last active tab.

    Does that make sense?

    No plans to implement that. Many users (including me) look at tab 1, then click sensors tab 2 quickly and close the app. Expectation is that it will start at tab 1 again.

    Tab only works with q+tab

    Command line/tab

    OK, thanks!
    (I assume maybe this was suggested before...)
    May I ask, what exactly does such a routine have in mind - why look at tabs 1, then 2, then quickly close the app?
