QuickWiki

A Google Chrome extension that allows users to become wiki-ninjas overnight by making it dead-simple to explore Wikipedia (or any other wiki on the web). When browsing Wikipedia or most wikis, simply Shift + Left Click any link to another wiki article to open it in a popup.

To install, visit the extension page on the Chrome Webstore.

• Open article in a new tab directly from the preview
• Intelligent window positioning
• Cute interface :)

Source code layout

• script.js - the core file, handles all operations on the preview
• background.js - to show the page action on appropriate wiki pages, and to handle disabling / enabling of the extension
• manifest.json - Packaging-related file, needed for publishing to the webstore
• .css, .png - look and feel, icons, etc.

See the developer docs for Google Chrome Extensions to learn more about how they're structured.
