Development:Planning:Shift Toggle

Camino has a "load in background" pref to control whether new tabs/windows spawned in various ways load in the backgroud or foreground. In addition, the shift key acts as a toggle, causing the tabs/windows to be opened in the opposite state from the pref.

Actions that need to respect the background pref and shift toggle

• Selecting a Bookmarks menu item (when cmd is held down, to open in new foo)
  • pref: Yes
  • toggle: Yes
• Selecting "Open in Tabs" in the Bookmarks menu (only when cmd is held down)
• Selecting a Bookmark Bar folder menu item (when cmd is held down, to open in new foo)
• Selecting "Open in Tabs" in Bookmark Bar folder menus (only when cmd is held down)

• Open Link in New Window/New Tab in the context menu
• View image (when cmd is held down) in the context menu
• Search (when cmd is held down) in the context menu

• Cmd-return in location bar
• Cmd-return in search bar

• Cmd-clicking (and just clicking??) a tab group
• Cmd-clicking a Bookmark Bar item

• Dragging a tab group to the tab bar
• Dragging a bookmark folder to the tab bar
• Dragging a Bookmark Bar item to the tab bar
• Dragging a link on a page to the tab bar

• Dragging a favicon from a tab or the location bar to the tab bar

To Do

1. Seek reviews to see if any actions are missing
2. Determine if any do not make sense on this list, if any
3. Determine
   • which of these work
   • which of these do not, but are covered by existing bugs (and link to bugs)
   • which need to be filed (then link, once filed)
