Allow opening Kagi start search by cmd+clicking the mascot/logo

frin

I would like to be able to cmd+click on the dog mascot in the top left corner and open new Kagi search in a new tab, from the assistant/search page.

I often make a search or have an AI conversation, but want to keep that page open, and make a separate search. Normally when you cmd+click in a browser, it will open link in a new tab, but Kagi overrides the click in JavaScript and does some own logic.

Suggestion:
If cmd is held down during the click, do not intercept the click and allow the user to open kagi.com in a new tab.

I know this is already possible by right-clicking and selecting "open link in new tab", but cmd+click is more convenient.

Can you please share the screenshot of which dog mascot?

georgee it's this dog from the assistant page. Just checked, and the search page has no mascot, and cmd+click works there, so it looks like the click is only intercepted on the assistant.

frin So, the search page works as expected, what about the assistant page?! should it open new search page or assistant?

georgee sorry for late reply, I was on vacation.

It should not intercept cmd+click, but do what the default browser behavior is. Normally cmd+click opens link in new tab.

I think it should start a new normal search. It is also the desired behavior since it's easier and it skips a search with the same query (which is what happens if you click the globe icon) and it would not run unnecessary queries.
