[Q] Automatic Multi Window

Wassup y'all,
So I've been enjoying my mega tablet, but I was wondering if you could help me figure somehting out. When I originally got my tablet rooted, before twrp was available, somehow I had set multi window apps to open in a second window automatically. For example, clicking on a play store link in chrome (while chrome was full screen) would open google play in split screen with chrome.
I have no idea how I set it to do this. I had messed with "multiwindow apps manager", and some xposed stuff (but don't remember what exactly).
Can anybody help me figure out how to get this feature back?

Make a shortcut on shield tv

So i've downloaded the apk for epsxe from my phone's ftp server, and I'm not interestedin going to settings, app settings to launch it every time. How can I do this. Is there a way to do this without tasker and a weird workaround?
Edit: some of the other apps seem to add their own shortcut

Use "Sideload Launcher" by Chainfire. It puts all your apps in a Android TV Launcher box on the main screen. Otherwise there's no other way.
i've been able to add stuff from the shield hub and the Android TV netflix app icon shortcut to NovaLauncher using add widget then searching for the app icon. if ur not interested in using a different launcher i think SideLoad launcher is your best bet

Question Open new Tab in Firefox using Gesture in One Hand Operation+

As you may know, the Good Lock labs One Hand Operation+ allows user defined gestures to do all kinds of things, ie. Shortcuts
As I use Firefox on the phone by default, would anyone know if there is a key-combination or other method to use OHO+ Gesture to open a new tab in Firefox?
You could try with Bixby Routine + touch macro maybe. Then attach it to a button action

Use Activity Launcher to create a shortcut for opening a new rab (unfortunately I don't use Firefox so can't say which is that one, you just need to search through the available Activities). Use OHO+ to launch that shortcut.
You could also use OHO+ for opening Firefox (open app), isn't that enough?
The solution was "Home Screen Shortcuts" and one of these is Firefox:New Tab
