## Description

**TabSubmit Basic** is a lightweight Chrome extension designed to improve your browsing productivity by enabling forms to open in new tabs. When you hold down a meta key such as Cmd or Ctrl while clicking on any form input, the form's target is set to _blank, ensuring it opens in a new tab or window. This behavior depends on your browser's settings for handling new windows.

This extension is a minimalist rewrite of the now unmaintained TabSubmit and SubmitToTab tools, crafted to provide a seamless and hassle-free experience. Perfect for users who frequently engage with multiple forms, TabSubmit Basic facilitates multitasking by preventing interruptions in your current tab. Developed out of a practical need, it offers a simple yet effective solution to managing form submissions across tabs.
