Open in new window doesn't work (CTRL+click)

Hi,

I was also trying to figure out how to open the links in a new tab as well. So I looked at the code and in the coffee.js file I found that it is using "event.metaKey" to check for the keystroke to open the links in a new tab.

According to this documentation, that should mean that it is ⌘ + click on macOS and ⊞(Windows key) + click for people using WindowsOS will open the link in a new tab. The documentation also says that

as of Firefox 48, the ⊞ Windows key is not considered the "Meta" key. KeyboardEvent.metaKey is false when the ⊞ Windows is pressed.

so Firefox users on WindowsOS will not be able to use this feature at all.

If you are using WindowsOS and want to use CTRL + click. you can replace all uses of "event.metaKey" with "event.ctrlKey" and within the coffee.js file and you should then be able to use CTRL + click for opening links in new tab. Doing this will however probably stop ⌘ + click on macOS from working, I can't test if it does as I don't own a macOS device.

It would be nice if the module added in functionality for event.ctrlKey so that WindowsOS users can open links in a new tab without having the start menu(programme select area) open up each time they want to open a link in a new tab.

Unfortunately, I'm not good enough at programming to make a patch for the module that would allow this functionality but hopefully, someone that reads this is and can make a patch so it can be added to the module.

Blunt, but how about reacting to metaKey & ctrlKey?

+1 for reacting to both metaKey and ctrlKey

Thanks!
