Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
Nautilus supports tabs now. To open a new tab you middle-click a folder. Yet, I find myself switching to new tabs right after opening them, 99% of the times. That's two actions I have to perform, so I think it would be handier to automatically switch to new tabs.
You might argue that web browsers don't do this. I think the user case is different here: with web browsers, I usually open a link on a new tab because I want to keep reading the current page but I might read something on the new tab afterwards. If I open a tab on Nautilus, that's usually because I want to do something on the new tab now but might go back to the old tab later.
