It is a damn good idea to make "any key"+mouse click on URL force this URL to
open in new full (screen)window.

Tnx

Target Milestone: M20
This is very similar to bug 12056, except that this one seems to want the new 
window to open maximized.  (that's what you meant by "full screen", right?)

I personally would prefer two options, both available by keyboard modifier(s) 
plus mouse click: new normal window or new minimized window.  I don't deny that 
maximized could also be useful, however (or maximized plus minimized, which 
would be great for opening 5 bugs from a bugzilla query quickly and without 
loss of continuity, but without having to maximize each window later).

Since we're limited by the number of modifiers unless we allow things like ctrl-
shift, but different users want different options, I'd suggest that this 
feature be customizable :)
Move to "Future" milestone.

This is alredy done and the maximize window is a different bug... So should we
close this one?
yes, I did this as part of another bug.

Sorry, I didn't read this carefully enough.  We don't have a modifier key for 
opening in a maximized window (yet).

Since Don has left, Vishy is taking his bugs in bulk, pending reassignment.

Right now, thanks to the checkin for bug 32148 (I think), Right Click->'Open
Link in New Window' and <alt/ctrl/whatever>-Left Click opens the URL in a new
maximized window if coming from a maximized window.  So, this should now be
technically possible if we can flip the right bits <g> (assuming it wasn't
before).  Can the reporter/requestor suggest a good Modifier key for this
enhancement?
Basically my wish is done now with checkin for bug 32148...

Wontfix then?  I'm hoping that bug 56690 will be fixed, and there are only so 
many modifier combinations that are easy to hit...
Marking wontfix.
