Comment:

 Ok, I have a test case that gets things more clear:

 - in laptop mode

 - open a new Browse instance

 - load google.com

 - close Browse instance

 - resume it

 - type with your hw keyboard

 ---> the google entry does not receive any characters, visually it looks
 unfocused

 The issue we have is that the webview is not focused. Here is a simple
 patch that does fix the above test case.

 {{{

              for number, tab in enumerate(self.model.data['currents']):
                  tab_page = self._tabbed_view.get_nth_page(number)
                  tab_page.browser.set_history_index(tab['history_index'])
 +                tab_page.browser.grab_focus()

 self._tabbed_view.set_current_page(self.model.data['current_tab'])
          elif self.metadata['mime_type'] == 'text/uri-list':
 }}}

 This does make the same est case work as well in ebook mode actually.

 Humitos, can you prepare us a patch based on the above that handles all
 the cases correctly? a) new Browse instance b) resume a Browse instance
 with several tabs, the active tab should get the focus here [...]
