What does your feature entail? What is it for? How will it affect existing workflows or user experience?
Currently, Kagi has one global setting for opening results in a new tab:
This applies to both search results and assistant sources.
While testing the assistant features, I have often found myself clicking a source it cites, expecting it to open in a new tab, and being moderately annoyed when my left click results in the assistant chat closing when the source is instead opened in the currently active tab.
My suggestion is that the behavior between search results and assistant sources should be split into separate settings. My reasoning is that they are often distinctly different types of links and personally I apply a completely different intuition to something looks like this:
I could see that being the case for many other users as well.
What are the exact ways that you see a user using your proposed feature? Please go into as much detail as possible, and provide examples of how other browsers/apps implement this feature, if applicable. If your feature suggestion adds on to an existing feature, how would it work into it to extend its usefulness?
Splitting the Open Links in a New Tab could be done in the following way:
- Remove the
Open Links in a New Tab toggle from https://kagi.com/settings?p=general
- Add an
Open Search Results in a New Tab toggle to https://kagi.com/settings?p=search
- Add an
Open Assistant Sources in a New Tab toggle to https://kagi.com/settings?p=assistant
