LinkThing 2.0.12: yet another bug fix

(Sigh.) Another day, another bug. This one was another logic error. It’s a little hard to explain, but let me try.

Say you’re on a site for which you have not specified, via LinkThing’s settings, whether to open links in a new tab. (In other words, you’re allowing the site to decide whether to open links in a new tab.) Now, say there is a link on that site that is supposed to open in a new tab, because it has its target attribute set to “_blank”. Finally, say you ⌘-clicked that link.

In such a case, I want LinkThing to force the link to open in the current tab, because ⌘-clicking a link should always—in my view—reverse the default opening target for that link. Due to a logic error, this was not happening—such links were opening in new tabs regardless of whether you used the ⌘ key.

That’s fixed now.
