579541 - Double-click in blank space to open a new tab

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 604098

(Firefox Graveyard :: Panorama, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Marien Zwart]

Double-clicking the background in TabCandy currently does nothing. It might be nice if it opened a new tab in the position I clicked. This would be more convenient than dragging open a new tab group there and clicking its (pretty small) new tab button, and unlike the large global new tab button it would allow me to position the new tab right away.

Mass moving all Tab Candy bugs from Mozilla Labs to Firefox::Tab Candy.  Filter the bugmail spam with "tabcandymassmove".

Punting to the future. This would also be a good place for an add-on to step in.

I'm moving this to beta 9. I've been watching people hunt for places to put new tabs when in Panorama. There's a bit of a Hick's law thing going on; and it is especially bad when one wants to create a tab outside of any pre-existing group.

This seems fairly low-cost to implement and will help in day-to-day usage. It does not, however, block.
