Feature request: Using `target="_blank" on all external links`
unrealapex opened this issue · comments
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It's very frustrating to have the code you linted and started to fix vanish in thin air when you click a link because it doesn't open in a new tab.
Describe the solution you'd like
My suggestion is using target="_blank" on all external links on JSLint or at least just on the linting page. See When to use target=”_blank” for a more in depth guide and reasoning.
Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative would be just Ctrl/Cmd clicking every line, but that is tedious.
One other option is adding a unsaved changes dialog:
window.addEventListener("beforeunload", function (e) {
var confirmationMessage = 'It looks like you have been editing something. '
+ 'If you leave before saving, your changes will be lost.';
(e || window.event).returnValue = confirmationMessage; //Gecko + IE
return confirmationMessage; //Gecko + Webkit, Safari, Chrome etc.
});
