• 2 hotkeys are reversed:

Website link:
* Normal click: Open the link is same page.
* Ctrl+Click: Open the link in new tab. Without Focus.
* Shift: Open the link in a new window.
* Ctrl+Shift: Open the link in new tab. With Focus.

Bookmark link:
* Normal click: Open the link is same page. (SAME)
* Ctrl+Click: Open the link in new tab. With Focus. (WRONG)
* Shift: Open Open the link in a new window. (SAME)
* Ctrl+Shift: Open the link in new tab. Without Focus. (WRONG)
