Quick Switcher: If a pinned tab has focus, open in a new tab, not an existing one

What I’m trying to do

  • Given multiple tabs open in multiple tab groups
  • When having focus in a tab that is Pinned (but you have forgotten about it)
  • Then after hitting CtrlO and wrongly thinking it would replace the current document, it will instead replace a different unpinned document in a different group.

What I would expect instead

Trying to replace a pinned document is obviously wrong, but replacing the next best document is even more unsettling.

Instead, if the currently focused document can’t be replaced, the new document should be opened in a new tab.

Changed title to describe the request (was “Unintuitive behavior of Quick switcher”).
