Edge - new tab focus behavior

Question

Is there a way to let Edge focus on the address bar once I open a new tab?

I experience the following behavior:

1. Open Edge
2. Ctrl + t (new tab)
3. Type e.g. www.myfavouriteaddress.com

Issue: The typing is ignored since the focus is not on the address bar.

Unfortunately I haven't found anything. Microsoft didn't answer on that.

Right now I work around it like that:

1. Open Edge
2. Ctrl + t (new tab)
3. Ctrl + l (focus on address bar)
4. Type e.g. www.myfavouriteaddress.com

I'm looking for a setting which let me change the default Ctrl + t behavior. Any idea?

Environment

• Microsoft Edge 38.14393.2068.0

The issue is gone.
