This script was inspired by the script Google Reader Enter/Return Opens Item in New Tab written by Lenny Domnitser. This script implies (and was written for) following behaviour:

  • When an item is collapsed and you want to read it in a new background tab, press 'b'. This also marks the item read so that it'll be counted as read in Trends.
  • When an item is expanded and you want to read it in a new background tab, press 'Enter'. This also collapses the item.
  • When you star an item by pressing 's', it is marked as read, so that it'll be counted as read in Trends.
upd:
The script was tested only in "List mode" in Google Reader. The problems are reported when using it in "Expanded mode", because items are marked read automatically. Please see the comments for details.
