How can I change the control + left click shortcut?
Hello,
If I control + left click a link now, the link opens in a new tab. What I want, is that control + left click works as a normal click, so that the link opens in the same tab. Is that possible? So that control actually does nothing.
I have already read this topic and I managed to disable control + left click, but that is not what I want: https://support.mozilla.org/nl/questions/931230 I think I should change the code a bit, but I don't know how.
Can anyone help me? Thanks!
Kind regards, Koen

Here's the revised version for you:
// ==UserScript==
// @name Ctrl+click to Regular Click
// @namespace YourNameHere
// @description Change ctrl+left click to regular click on all sites
// @include http*://*
// ==/UserScript==
function overrideCtrlClick(e){
if (e.button == 0 && e.ctrlKey && e.target.nodeName == "A"){ // left button + ctrl key
e.preventDefault(); // stop Firefox from processing
e.stopPropagation(); // the user's Ctrl+click
e.target.click(); // apply a regular click to the link
return false;
}
}
document.addEventListener("click", overrideCtrlClick);
Does that do what you want?
