In the latest Zen update we introduced some improvements to the command bar, which now understands when you're not looking for a website. Just press the tab key and your search narrows down to actions like pinning a tab, opening an extension, creating a split view and much much more.
Don’t just browse. Command. With Zen's new command bar, navigating your browser isn’t a chore. Switch spaces, pin tabs, open extensions, create folders. All in seconds. Now available in 1.16b — zen-browser.app/release-note...
