LinkThing 2.0.13 adds option to revert to pre-2.0.12 behavior

In the previous LinkThing update, I fixed a logic error that caused the extension to ignore the Command key when clicking a link that has a target value of “_blank”.

A user emailed to say he disagreed with that choice. He (or she) thought ⌘-clicking a link should always open it in a new tab, regardless of the link’s target attribute. I can see how some people might agree with him or her, so I’ve added an option in this update to accommodate that preference.

The option is called When ⌘-clicking, ignore “_blank” target, and it’s on the General Settings tab of the settings window.

Note that if you have LinkThing set to force links to open in new tabs or in the current tab, the new setting will have no effect for you—that is, in your case, ⌘-clicking will always do the opposite of normal clicking.
