Feature request: open story comments in new tab #70

Closed lookfirst closed 4 years ago

Similar to open-story-links-in-new-tab, but for the link to the comments.

Do you want to click the "comments" link and then it opens in a new tab with focus, or when you have the item highlighted using keyboard controls, and then open it in a new tab?

lookfirst commented 4 years ago

Does not need focus.

My workflow is to go down the front page and click on all the links that are interesting and open new tabs. When I have time, I go through the tabs and read/close them out. For links I care about the comments, I also open those.

Alright got it. How about this: in the popup menu, I add an option which when enabled, performs the action?

Default off is fine with me.

@plibither8 THANK YOU! Much happiness!

Hey, no problem! I've just published it on Mozilla Add-ons. The Chrome Webstore update might take some time because they have increased their review time.

Apologies for taking this long to get it done. I finally found some time to work on it... quarantine FTW :D

You too! :D
