What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

Hello dear,
So I have a shortcut for opening the files in Explorer with a keyboard shortcut. When I did that earlier with File Explorer, the window was coming to the front of the active screen. Now with the file app of yours, when I click the same shortcut, it will open a new window, but it won't bring it to the front; it will open a new window inside or near the old opened window, which is behind the active app, for example.
Can you please fix that?

Requirements

Steps To Reproduce
Open files.
Open any other app, like Chrome, and bring Chrome to the front.
Now click the shortcut to open a new window or the Files app again.
It won't come to the front as an active window; it will stay in the background. Even when a new tap is opened.

Files Version

3.2.0.0

Windows Version

10.0.19045.4046
