Hi list, Hope you are all doing well! I have a small feature idea: Sometimes I want to go back to the previous page, but also keep the current page open. Obviously I can go back and then open the last page in a new tab, but that can be annoying having to find and click on the link again. One solution is to make middle-clicking on the back button open the previous page in a new tab. Attached is a working proof-of-concept patch. Any feedback would be welcome!
