Description
As we update a plugin a spinner is seen and we are kept at the same location on the Installed plugin screen.
Clicking Activate/Deactivate the focus jumps to the top and one loses connection with the screen location.
It would be very helpful to add Ajax to the Activate/Deactivate links so we are kept in the same location on the screen and not kicked to the top of the page.

@azaozz I believe @paaljoachim is talking about the Activate/Deactivate
row actions.

Ah, sorry, "the focus jumps to the top" made it sound like we are talking about the same page, not about clicking a link and navigating away from the page :)

While deactivation may work, activation doesn’t due to redirects upon activation which is done by some plugins. See #40454 and #29820 where this was also discussed.
Since not all plugins provide an action link for the settings you’d have to reload the page anyway to get any new menu or toolbar items.

For context, see https://github.com/WordPress/wp-autoupdates/issues/47, which was opened before Ajax handling was added for the Enable/Disable
links in the auto-updates feature plugin.
So, the idea of this ticket is to add Ajax handling for the Activate/Deactivate/etc
row actions on the plugins and multisite themes screen.
Don't see this here (for the enable/disable autoupdates link).
Edit: sorry, misunderstood which links this is about :)
