I don’t think AWS CloudShell should open in new tabs or switch regions for global services

When you have AWS CloudShell open and you navigate to a new tab, CloudShell gets opened in the new tab. This is strange, Now I have two tabs where I could potentially open the same file and it might be in different states in each tab.

CloudShell should remain open in the tab where it is currently in use but not be automatically opened in new tabs.

The other thing CloudShell does is switch to us-east-1 if you navigate to a global service. Apparently CloudShell is region specific as it needs to store related files somewhere. But I don’t want to have CloudShell switch to a different region if I navigate to a global service like IAM, Organizations, or S3.

I’m not sure if this is a bug or a feature request. I’ll list it as a feature request and let someone else decide.
