Allow setting for default tab

Is there an existing request for this feature?

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I have very many request to execute. My workflow is clicking on a request and then looking at the request body for every one of them (sometimes a hundred or more times a day). This means an unnecessary click over and over and over. It's unnecessarily maddening.

Describe the solution you'd like

Allow a preference for the default tab when opening requests.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Workspace script: i don't want to write a bunch of scripts to do this.
Keyboard shortcut: i don't want to replace hundreds of click with hundreds of keyboard shortcuts.

Additional context

@rjouett Sorry that you're facing this. Can you elaborate a bit more? Are you opening 100s of new requests every day? How're you creating these requests?
Postman does remember the last tab that you opened for a request and the next time to open the same request it should open the last tab for that request. Is that not the case with you?

Thx for the reply... We create collections for a feature. Each collection may have as many as 65 requests. So If I execute two features a day, that's 130 unnecessary clicks to just view the Body tab. You're right, the app remembers which tab was open so my exasperation was somewhat exaggerated (thanks for talking me off the ledge ;) ). Still, try manufacturing the problem by somehow incorporating unneeded 130 clicks in your day. I'm not the first to have this perspective. While googling for a way to do it, I found numerous others talking about the same thing. Thanks again and be well! Oh, if you do decide to implement this, would you give me a heads up, please?
