Doesn't work correctly in
Doesn't work correctly in 10.5x (nor in the latest snapshot), because the mouseup and mousedown events are buggy. Testcase
It works for me on 10.52
It works for me on 10.52 3344. By the way my script uses window.open() and the link you've provided uses mouse clicks triggering (i.e. you are creating events). Mouse triggering doesn't work, because all of the properties for Ctrl, Alt and Shift keys seem to be read-only. Could you please give me the urls of the pages where links don't open with the script in the background. Thanks.

Why not use mouse gesture?
Just push right on a link, move cursor down, then up and release. No waiting, no external javascript, no problems with settings
this plugin is great,
(mouse gestures put more strain on hands) but it doesn't work in 10.60 - the focus is not given back, new windows stays focused. Can you please please have a look on it? :)
