I know from the Postman docs that I can open saved requests in a new tab either by creating a new tab before clicking on the saved request or with a keyboard shortcut, but I'm hoping there's a way to default Postman to always open requests in new tabs - like the standard functionality of most IDEs.
I frequently find that I've sent a request, then a second, different one and wish I could check something in the response for the first request, but it's no longer there, because the second request opened over the first.
Obviously if I know that I'm going to want the first response, I can explicitly save it, but that's quite cumbersome, and it's usually only after I've sent the next request that I realise I want to refer back.
I suspect the answer is probably to build muscle memory to always hold Ctrl + Shift
when clicking a saved request, but it would be nice if there was a setting.
History. To access the requests you've made, select History in the sidebar. When you're signed in to Postman, your history syncs across your devices. Select a request to open it again in a new tab. To select more than one request, press and hold ⌘ or Ctrl, then select the requests.
Just realised that this is now possible (or perhaps always was and I just missed it) - in the 'General' tab of the Settings dialog, under the heading 'REQUEST' is a switch for 'Always open requests in new tab'.
There is a setting for this. This image will help:
