Fix Shift/Ctrl-Click opens the target on the current tab
Hello!
I have a problem with the web interface of TheOldReader. In almost all web browsers users can control where a clicked link should be opened:
- Control+Click to a URL opens the link in a new browser tab;
- Shift+Click to a URL opens the link in a new browser window.
That works in TheOldReader if I click on the title of an article. Unfortunately, TheOldReader tries to enforce a different behavior. If links are clicked inside an article TheOldReader opens the link in the current tab which is unexpected and very inconvenient.
For me this is extra inconvenient because I use the setting "Show only unread" so when TheOldReader opens the link in the current tab I press "Back" in the browser to return to TheOldReader but the article is gone. I have to switch to "Show all" mode and find the article, then switch to "Show unread" again.
Please fix your JavaScript so it doesn't steal Control-Click / Shift-Click!
