Enhancement - open links in background tabs #12

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I'd like to be able to use the addon to open links in a background tab. For
example when looking at a page of search results I like to open several in
the background and then go though them.

In the list function you can press Ctrl+Enter to open in a new tab. Perhaps
another key modifier could make pages open in a background tab eg. Shift+Enter.

I'm using v0.1 in Firefox 3.5.3 on Vista SP2

Many thanks

An easy fix: add "new tab in background" to the CYW edit shortcut dialog. When 
this
is selected, Enter will open in background tab, Ctrl-Enter in current window.

To do this, find file "edit_listview_dialog.xul" in your extension directory. 
There,
search for "defaultLinkTargetML" (here it's linenumber 51), add line: 

<menuitem label="New tab in background" value="tabshifted"/>

"tabshifted" is the key for Firefox to open in background.

Cheers
