Bookmark Right Click - Open In New Tab

Post by RickyF »

I'd like to request a new feature that when a user right-clicks on a bookmark from the Bookmarks menu that a context menu with "Open in New Tab" appears (and functions).

Thanks.

right-clicking on menus is kind of hard to grasp
perhaps you can use folder groups instead? (customize menu)

Mozilla Firefox already does this so lots of us are already used to doing this.

Firefox has a plugin extension in which the middle button or scrollwheel click opens a link in a new tab. Middle clicking on a folder in x2 could open that folder in a new tab, or in the opposite pane... This would perhaps be a simpler alternative to the current "Ctrl-Doubleclick" action to open a folder in the opposite pane.

I don't know what version/settings you are using for x2; but that action opens a new x2 window for me in the same process.

To open a folder in the opposite (i.e.: inactive) pane use Ctrl+Alt+Ins effective with ver 1105 & up.
See the x2 website under [ news ] for the most current build in "release" trim: 1.1.0.90 BETA.
