Please allow us to cmd/ctrl-click results from the search fields

[vesper8]

Title says it is, currently you cannot open the results from the Nova search fields in a new tab by using cmd/ctrl-click

Even though this is not a straight up href link and uses vue/inertia for routing, it's definitely possible, and easy even, to capture the keypress upon click and if the cmd/ctrl/meta key is pressed down then trigger a window.open. I've done this before on Vue-router apps.

Please add this convenience. Many thanks

I'm really dying for this cmd-click functionality on the global search, so I am overriding the GlobalSearch Vue component and it was incredibly easy to add.

All I had to do was these three tiny changes and you can now open in a new tab while holding cmd/ctrl, and if you don't then it opens in the current tab as normal.

It would be really awesome if you could add this small but terribly useful fix.

before

@click="goToSelectedResource(item)"

after

@click="goToSelectedResource($event, item)"

before (inside goToCurrentlySelectedResource method)

this.goToSelectedResource(resource)

after (inside goToCurrentlySelectedResource method)

this.goToSelectedResource(event, resource)

before

    goToSelectedResource(resource) {
      if (this.canceller !== null) this.canceller()

      this.closeSearch()

      let url = Nova.url(
        `/resources/${resource.resourceName}/${resource.resourceId}`
      )

      if (resource.linksTo === 'edit') {
        url += '/edit'
      }

      Nova.visit({
        url,
        remote: false,
      })
    },

after

    goToSelectedResource(event, resource) {
      if (this.canceller !== null) this.canceller()

      this.closeSearch()

      let url = Nova.url(
        `/resources/${resource.resourceName}/${resource.resourceId}`
      )

      if (resource.linksTo === 'edit') {
        url += '/edit'
      }

      if (event.metaKey || event.ctrlKey) {
        window.open(url);
      } else {
        Nova.visit({
          url,
          remote: false,
        })
      }
    },

Many Thanks!!

i havent try myself but does middle mouse click work for u?

[vesper8]

It does not.. and judging by the code, there's no reason why using any mouse button would have any such effect until my solution is implemented.

I've added the ability to hold the meta key (same as resource table rows) and click the search result to open them in a new tab. Also, holding meta while pressing enter will also open the result in a new tab. 👍

[davidhemphill]

This will ship in the next release.

hell yea 💪
