Description Niels L Ellegaard 2013-08-25 05:30:35 UTC 
I would like to middle click on the "open new tab"-button to paste an url directly into the new tab.

Early versions of epiphany had this feature. Chromium has it too. This is a small feature, but I find it very useful.

Accordingly to [0], Xan had some good reasons to drop this feature off.

I wonder whether it's still "problematic to port properly to WebKit2".

I find it very useful too.
