Tridactyl: Should links opened with f ever open in new tabs?

[cmcaine]

At the moment we detect if a link wants to be opened in a new tab/window and use the webext API to do that. Minoru and Lexi on Riot say they'd rather f always opens on the current page. I'm tempted and the implementation is easy.

Thoughts? @bovine3dom, @JohnBeard, etc.

How about we put this in config? forcefcurrentpage, true to force current page, false to use target.

[johnbeard]

Configurable behaviour of f sounds good. Could either be a config option that affects f, or add a hint sub-mode for each and users rebind f to use the other one. For example, hint -t (t for target) to follow the target and hint on its own to keep the current tab. Or the other way around?

I've always wished that f could open in a new tab if you used caps when following the link. Let's say 'hc' are the follow letters

• f hc -> current tab
• F hc -> new tab
• f HC -> new tab
