Extension summary

Hate that Feedly's 'v' keyboard shortcut automatically switches focus to the new tab? Then this extension is for you!

Press a custom hotkey (keyboard shortcut) when an article is 'focused' on Feedly to open the link in the background. The default hotkey is ';'

Works best with 'j' and 'k' shortcuts to go forward and backward - and 'm' to mark as read/unread.

A replacement for the loved but no longer working "Feedly Background Tab". Open source, check out the code here: https://github.com/davidz627/feedlyBackgroundArticles/tree/main
