Welcome to ChromePlugins

and thanks for sharing

Great, Thx. Better if the menu inject to right click. but i think, chrome still doesn't support it

Indeed, this is not yet possible, but when it is I'll be on it!

A new release is up that adds config for hotkey.

As opposed to just selecting the link text and drag-dropping it into the address bar..? I don't find that cumbersome, and it doesn't require an extra extension. Maybe some will find the email thing useful, but I prefer to just run my email application. That's what it's there for.

Edit: I shouldn't try things when I'm tired. It makes more sense now; new tabs and all. Good stuff.

pelase update your browser action icon.

Still you're right about being able to drag directly to the tabs. I made this extension because I wanted a keyboard shortcut for it, and it felt stupid not to release it to everyone. Also in the future I can add more types of selections, like maybe opening Twitter when selecting @username. Possibilities are endless

1.0.4: Browser Action icon is removed and options can only be accessed from the extensions page (see Options button).

i See. Thx the info.
