Hi list,
Hope you are all doing well!
I have a small feature idea:
Sometimes I want to go back to the previous page, but also keep the
current page open.
Obviously I can go back and then open the last page in a new tab, but
that can be annoying having to find and click on the link again.
One solution is to make middle-clicking on the back button open the
previous page in a new tab.
Attached is a working proof-of-concept patch. Any feedback would be
welcome!
Regards,
Alex
