Hi, u-Sir.

• auto hide sidebar if not trigger 'open in sidebar' or add a hotkey to show/hide the sidebar

I think hiding a sidebar is annoying for a user when a user does not trigger 'open in sidebar'. Adding a hotkey for opening or closing a sidebar surely improve usability. I will implement it.

* previous/forward in sidebar

Currently Firefox does not support this. Injecting a script to a page in a sidebar makes this possible but it may be hated.

* select text in sidebar

Currently Firefox does not support this. By the way, you can select text in textbox (e.g. search box) in a sidebar.

* drag&drop url to open in sidebar,  similar to 'Prevue Popup'

Currently Firefox does not support this. Perhaps injecting a script to a page in a sidebar makes this possible but it may be hated.

Some features cannot be added due to the restrictions. However, I improve this extension as possible as I can.

thanks. is there any way to make 'open in sidebar' more convenient? I often use the right-click menu to 'open in sidebar', and the position sometimes changes . by the way, is it possible to have an option to 'open a link in the current tab(not in the sidebar)' when clicking a link in the sidebar?

If you use old version (2.2.1 or earlier), the position changes every time because of my bad coding.

by the way, is it possible to have an option to 'open a link in the current tab(not in the sidebar)' when clicking a link in the sidebar?

Sadly Firefox does not provide a feature which an extension itself detects whether inside of sidebar or not. However, as an option, perhaps I can add "Always display 'open a link in the current tab'".

I tried to add 'open a link in the current tab' but it is impossible. Getting current url of a sidebar is not supported by Firefox. Technical information:

• tab of menus.onShown is null when it calls from a sidebar so current url of a sidebar is unknown.
• sidebarAction.getPanel just returns url which is set with sidebarAction.setPanel. This means it returns the same url even if a page in a sidebar changes.

I have released v4.1.0 which supports hotkey. Closed by v4.1.0.
