Alt+Enter to open a tab in Glance - for quick tasks

[untitled500]

Scenario: You're browsing and doing deep research in Tab A. You now need to verify a quick fact but now you want to quickly look up something else. Currently Cmd+T, type something, enter -> will open this as a full/persistent tab. You switch back to your existing Tab A. Now, the sidebar starts to accumulate such ghost tabs.

Suggestion: Use the same glance modifier. Instead of pressing enter, you press Alt-Enter. This opens it as a Glance tab. A user can press Esc or click outside. If they want to keep the tab, they have to make a conscious decision to do so.

This behaviour reuses similar Glance concept, and doesn't interfere with users who simply type and press Enter to open a new tab.

Here is a mock. Opt-Enter opens in Glance.

Yes, and this will be good for even quickly checking OTPs sent via email, etc. I wish this gets implemented!

It probably should reuse the same meta-key which is configured for <key> + click to open Glance from links. So for this it could work with <key> + enter. Would really appreciate that feature
