Script Summary:
Adds accesskeys to "previous" and "next" type links (useful for reading multi-page forum threads, webcomic archives, google results, etc.). The keys are 'Alt-,' for back & 'Alt-.' for forward; 'Alt-<' & 'Alt->' do likewise but open the link in a new window/tab.

Adds accesskeys to "previous" and "next" type links (useful for reading multi-page forum threads, webcomic archives, google results, etc.). The keys are 'Alt-,' for back & 'Alt-.' for forward; 'Alt-<' & 'Alt->' do likewise but open the link in a new window/tab.

Please note:

Firefox 2.0 changed the default accesskey for web pages from "Alt-Key" to "Alt-Shift-Key", which is problematic since this script used to use Alt-Shift to open links in a new tab.

You can make Firefox go back to the old behaviour by typing "about:config" into the adress box, finding the ui.key.contentAccess setting and changing it's value to 4, as described on this page.

I'm sorry that this script hasn't been updated in a while, I'm getting around to it. In the mean time I'm wondering (in light of the problem above) if anyone other than me actually finds the "open in a new tab" thing useful?
