Single left click tab opener
v0.1.0.2 - Open links in new tab by keeping the left mouse button down for half a second
I browse a lot on my laptop. Since my laptop has a touchpad without a middle mouse button I need to right click links and then select "Open link in new tab". Not a big deal really, but I would like to be able to open new tabs easier.
This script opens a new tab when you keep the left mouse button down for a while.
Update 2006-02-21: I know that you could use Ctrl + Left click in Firefox to open links in a new tab. Since I can't use my left arm fully the Ctrl key isn't really an option for me.

Nice script, but it interferes with drop n' dragging links to the bookmarks panel. Is there any way for it not to? |

4.5 Stars, but essential. I open links constantly in my work. I don't use gestures, they're too easy to accidentally perform. Since I don't have to use the ctrl key, I can write and navigate at the same time, but it doesn't disable this functionality when I need it. On the downside, it doesn't work in Gmail and a few other sites. That's when I notice how incredible this script is as I right-click and then look for "open in new tab" and left-click. |

You can click the middle mouse button to do this. Not that this isn't cool, too. |

Another option would be to use the "All-in-one Gestures" extension for Firefox. I have it set so that if I hold the left mouse button down and drag up over a link it opens the link in a new tab. You can also left click and drag left to go back, etc. It is very handy with a mouse and even handier without a mouse. You can get the extension here: https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.... |

very cool! just thought i'd remind you, though, that in FF you can open links in a new tab by holding ctrl and clicking the link |
You could comment on this script if you were logged in.
