Shift+middle clicking a folder will open it as a new tab in the foreground,
which is a feature which was also inspired by web browsers.

Interesting use cases. I agree that it makes some sense, I have just never
encountered anyone having such a workflow. Considering that e.g. Firefox places
this option in the settings quite prominently, it seems to be more popular than
I expected. Especially for users who have this setting enabled in web browsers
it must be quite jarring to see different behaviour happening in Dolphin when
they open a new tab. I'll mark this bug report as confirmed.

>In Dolphin, new tabs should by default open in the foreground. 

I would say opening in an activated tab should not be the default currently
because it is not the default behaviour in browsers either. It would IMO be a
mistake to create an inconsistency for all KDE users by default there.

>I love dolphin!

Thanks! Many volunteers have brought us to where we are.
