Shortcut not working: Toggle vertical tabs expanded

[felixblaschke]

Description of the issue:
The keyboard shortcut “Toggle vertical tabs expanded” is not doing what it’s intended to do. I assume it does the same as pressing this button on the top left of the vertical tab bar:

Update: Found out it’s only broken when “Expand vertical tabs independently per window” is enabled.

How can this issue be reproduced?

1. Open brave
2. Enable vertical tab bar
3. Specify a keyboard shortcut in brave settings (brave://settings/system/shortcuts) for Toggle vertical tabs expanded
4. Press that short cut
5. Notice it’s not working

Expected result:
The shortcut does exactly what pressing this button does:

Brave Version( check About Brave):
Version 1.74.51 Chromium: 132.0.6834.160 (Official Build) (arm64)

Additional Information:

• I checked the other 2 shortcuts related to “vertical tab bar”, they work.

Update to this: I found out that it’s only bugged when additionally

is enabled as well.

Also happening here. My version (debian 12):

Version 1.75.178 Chromium: 133.0.6943.98 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I didn’t realize this had shipped!

I found this in a search for the keyboard shortcut for vertical tabs – I hope a fix for this gets shipped soon too.

To make the request more textually explicit, in Settings:

• When ::Tabs > Use vertical tabs is enabled,
• and when ::Tabs>(Use vertical tabs)>Expand vertical tabs independently per window is enabled,
• then, when ::System > Shortcuts >> Toggle vertical tabs expanded is invoked, it should act as if the “Expand tabs” button on the foreground window were clicked, and expand just that vertical tab bar.

Note, #2) the “Keyboard Shortcuts” (under Extensions section) versus “Shortcuts” under System section of settings is also confusing. #3) It would be cool if mouseover in settings for internal links showed the setting URL that would load, as with web links on rendered web pages.
