Description

Oni Version: 0.3.4 Neovim Version (Linux only): Operating System: macOS 10.13.4

Describe your issue

I have open a browser tab and a file editor tab. But i switch to another tab then swtich to browser tab again. The webview will reload. slice 1

I guess maybe when switch to another tab, this webview instance has been destroyed. The switch to the browser tab next time, it will create a new webview instance. So it will reload page.

So how to prevent destroies the webview instance, and make it reusable in next time.

Expected behaviour

The webview will keep last status.

Actual behaviour

It will refresh.

Steps to reproduce

Open two tabs, one is browser tab. switch between these tabs. When swtich to browse tab, you will see the webview reload page.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the tab switching logic and webview lifecycle management in the Oni source code. Specifically look at how webview instances are created and destroyed when switching tabs, and modify the logic to preserve the webview (e.g., by hiding instead of destroying) or implement a caching mechanism.
