Open links in new tabs easily with toutchpad

Ever had to operate device that doesn't have middle mouse button to open links in new tab? This script will allow you to hold your mouse over link for a short duration to open it in new tab. This should also work well on touch screens, though wasn't tested yet.

Friendly indicator

Script uses blue progress bar indicator to show you how long you need to press. The timeouts can be configured, see below.

Configuration

Variables startCountdownTime and countdownTime can be used to configure speed of the timeout.

  • startCountdownTime is the time BEFORE progressbar appears. This exist to prevent progressbar flashing when you click normally
  • countdownTime is the duration for which progress is visible

Both variables together sum to the total time you need to hold the mouse.
