When I open a new tab, I’ll habitually start typing the address of a site I want to visit, and then I remember that I have to cmd-L (I have a Magic Keyboard) or tap the screen to populate the address bar. It’s kind of tedious, and I gather it’s been an issue for a while. Is there a setting somewhere that addresses this, or should I just add my name to the list of users requesting that the cursor be set automatically in the address bar when I open a new tab?
