[REQ] activate tab on drag/drop from another app

I drag and drop from full screen browser to Total Commander tab a lot when doing research. Frequently the current tab is not the one I want to drop the url to but another tab is where I want it to go. It would be really nice if dragging to tab name automatically made this the active tab so I could complete the drag and drop - it would be a logical work flow. Currently I have to stop; change tabs; and repeat the drag and drop.

Any chance this would make it into a future Total Commander update?

mentioned in viewtopic.php?t=9933 and similar to another request.

SInce it is possible to drag to non-active tabs within TC, it would be logical to expect the same when dragging from other programs.

So support++ if feasible.

You don't have to stop, you can use your other hand to press keys on the keyboard to change tabs.
