Don’t let everyone “well actually” you, here. The fact you are making this robust is great.
Feature idea: holding down Alt/Option changes the menu to open in a new tab.
'New Tab' is the default/only behavior currently.
I notice that Chrome supports Ctrl-click (background tab) and Shift-click (new window), and Firefox provides a modifiers array, so I think I could replicate this.
Oh, sounds good. It would be best to follow similar conventions. I’m a Safari person, so I didn’t know New Tab was default in Firefox. Making the menu say it will be a new tab would be good.
I've added support for Ctrl/Command/Shift in v1.7, but the menu text is unchanged because I don't know which keys are pressed prior to the click event. This matches Chrome's behavior.
