Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/3424

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Summary

I found that hoppscotch always switches to "parameters" tab when switching between requests and I'm findind this behaviour very inconvenient. I mostly send POST requests, so i use body tab most of the tab. Possible solutions are:

Make body tab globally default
Make a setting to reorder tabs or set the default one
Simply keep last selected tab in cookies (or local storage) and keep it selected when switchin between requests

Why should this be worked on?

The software must be more adaptable to every user's workflow

We're working on persisting the last active tab in #3367.

Since we've added the ability to persist the last active tab on a tab group has landed on v2023.8.2 I'm closing this issue. Hope this feature will help you better navigate between request's tabs.
