In your post about LinkThink 2.0.12 you state that you believe command-
click should always reverse the default opening target for a link.

I disagree :)

I do not like behavior that is inconsistent like that. I want to be
able to always use 'command-click' to open a link in a new tab
regardless of what the web page's author may have done in the anchor
tag. I frequently go to pages that have multiple links that I want to
read later, and just go 'command-[click,click,click]' down the page.
It is quite annoying when one of the links in the middle interacts
with LinkThing in a way that causes the page I'm viewing to get
replaced by the target page!

Please add a settings option to control this behavior (or, release
another plugin whose sole feature is the two 'open [active,background]
tabs at the end of the bar' one, that's all I'm actually using
LinkThing for)

Okay. Get the LinkThing update and look for the option When ⌘-clicking, ignore “_blank” target on the General Settings tab of the settings window.
