Add ability to ctrl+click search button

Open thostetler opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

In the old ADS, I could use the "Send Query to Classic" or "Send Query to the new ADS" buttons with "<TAB>+click" functionality in most browsers.

In other words, if I wanted to look up a number of papers, I could keep one "search" tab-window open, and perform a number of searches by filling out the form, "<TAB>+clicking" to open the results, and then going on to the next search.

In the new ADS, if I click the "search magnifying glass" button, it forces the page to the search-result, regardless of whether or not I <TAB>+click. This hinders performing a large number of searches sequentially.

You also can't ctrl+click on papers on the result page to open them in a new tab, which is incredibly frustrating, as I am often searching for more than just one paper. ctrl+click opens a link in a new tab on almost every other website, so I don't understand why it should not just work on ADS. It certainly needs to be fixed. EDIT: oh, nice, I just discovered that middle mouse clicking on the paper titles does exactly what I want (opens the paper page in a new tab). The ctrl+click option would still be nice to have, though. EDIT2: Oh come on, now ctrl+click works as desired. I swear it wasn't working earlier, and every time I've tried using new ADS previously.
