Request: Force "open in new tab" #43
Comments
I am a huge TiddlyWiki fan as well - what can I say? 🥰 For now you can middle-click on the link to open a new tab. I am conflicted about making this change and would like to put it to a vote. I could go either way. I just don't want to bug people with new tabs opening! Thank you for bringing this up. |
I'm voting for this, too. I have Fraidycat as a "pinned tab" -- and if I don't remember to click-to-open-in-new-tab, then I lose the tab. I think Fraidycat needs to be thought of more like an app -- you want to be able to navigate back to it. Thanks for your work on FC! |
I prefer opening a link in the same window/tab by default. Maybe this is a feature that could be configurable in the settings? |
Thankyou all for your thoughts so far. I'm going to address this in the 1.2.0 redesign, but if anyone else wants to chime in, please do. |
This is coming. See #153 for the main discussion - although I am fine keeping this open, because it's subtly different. The idea is to offer a way of customizing the click event on individual link or blog titles - send this to vlc, send this to Pocket, open this in a new tab. But this won't be coming until Fraidycat 2 - which I am still trying to plan out. |
I vote for links opening in a new tab. My UX behaviour (and I think for most) is like this:
In a funny way, when I'd left-click on a link I'd think "Fraidycat doesn't want me to use Fraidycat" because it keeps "self-closing" itself when opening links, haha. |
Very nice bit of work! FWIW I have used both "Feedly" and "The Old Reader", as well as feed readers now long forgotten. I like the minimalism of your approach a lot. Also great that it can make sense of TiddlyWiki! Very useful for TiddlyWiki enthusiasts to be able to track when stuff in releases change.
My request is simple: when you click on an item that it opens in a new tab rather than replacing the Fraidycat tab. (FYI, I on Chrome latest on Win)
Best wishes, TT
