A wish from me, old versions of Opera let you middle click anywhere in the page and it would 'paste' the selection clipboard as a URL and load that page. It's a very slick way of opening a page.
I hate this :-)
You can already paste the url with middle-click on new tab button.
(In reply to Xavier Brochard from comment #2) > You can already paste the url with middle-click on new tab button. What is the "new tab button"? The "+" button at the bottom left border (vertical tabs extension)? Pasting url does not work there. But it would be be pretty non intuitive... I used to paste urls since Netscape 4.0 by middle clicking into the page and would have never tried the (non working) "+" button... I tried pasting into the url text field -> not working; mixes url with existing text; middle clicking to any other element in the url bar -> no effect.
Hello, I will try to answer few of your questions. "What is the "new tab button"?" - The "'+' New Tab" button on top toolbar works as described. "The "+" button at the bottom left border (vertical tabs extension)? Pasting url does not work there." - The "'+' New Tab" button on "Vertical Tab" extension does not support this feature In my opinion this should be done in form of an extension/addon, I was able to create prototype in one evening, if you desire it I might continue and finish it. PS: I was just interested in the idea, thats all.
(In reply to Juraj from comment #4) > In my opinion this should be done in form of an extension/addon, Chromium has such an extension too and it does not work well. E.g. when pasting into a text field, I expect that the url is pasted into the text field, but not that a new page is opened (which happens with the chromium extension). I am in doubt that the extension api is powerful enough to handle such cases and think that it belongs into core.

Chromium is another world. Based on what i saw in other plugins this can be done. > I am in doubt that the extension api is powerful enough to handle such cases > and think that it belongs into core. Only few people are interested in such feature which means it belongs to extensions.
