The problem description makes not clear to me why this is a problem. It describes an existing solution, and there is an easier one: middle mouse button click for new tab, normal mouse button for intab load. It is always a horror when some websites try to be smart and fuck that up (looking at you, kimono – you are great but this part of your UI is not).
Is there something special about those specific links as well that makes the existing solution not work? If not, I doubt that indicators would help much – the specific control we have already is better than the time-consuming task of interpreting those.
- mixmastamyk 11y agoTrue, but it doesn't work for the author because he's using a one button mac.
- christianmann 11y agoI use BetterTouchTool, a program similar to AutoHotKey for Mac, to remap three-finger-tap to middle-click in Safari and Chrome in order to allow this.
- bryogenic 11y agoOr middleclick (https://github.com/cl3m/MiddleClick https://github.com/cl3m/MiddleClick)
- meowface 11y agoBetterTouchTool is way more versatile and has tons of functionality. BetterTouch is to vim as Middleclick is to Notepad, or perhaps cat.
- provemewrong 11y agoMeh, the only thing I need is three finger tap to emulate middle click, better touch tool seems like an overkill for that sole purpose.
- meowface 11y agoI started using it for only one touch gesture to start with, too, until I realized I could control almost any navigation with swipes and taps. Swipe left and right to switch browser tabs, make a circle "refresh" motion to refresh the page, 3-finger swipe down to close a tab...
