Open link in new tab doesn't work when using Vimium in conjunction with temporary containers

Open sumade123 opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

When using the Vimium-FF extension, you press F, followed by the letter shown next to the link element to open a link. If you want the link to open in a new tab you hold shift.

Actual behavior: If the temporary containers extension is active, a new tab is not created when accessing a link while holding shift in Vimium, instead it opens in the same tab. The only way to open a link in a new tab is to use a right mouse click.

Expected behavior: A new tab (container) should open (in the same way as it does for right-click link open).

Notes

It can be important for some users to use Vimium-FF to avoid use of the mouse, but it is also desirable to use temporary containers (for me personally the ability to do the above would be really appreciated if possible).

I suppose it might apply to other accessibility extensions also, when used in conjunction with the temporary containers extension, if link opens other than through a mouse click do not operate correctly, but it may be specific to Vimium-FF.

Thanks
