Link to channels

Stream: Zulip meta

Since Alya is here, maybe I’ll ask: is it only me or is the list of channels no longer a list of links? I am pretty sure I used to be able to middle-click on channel names to open them in new tabs when I wanted to read channel by channel. Now middle-clicking does nothing.

This depends on your setting (added recently) for what clicking on the channel in the left sidebar does.

We added an option to get a link to the channel menu.

I think this applies only to clicking on thread names, not channel names, right?

[Alya Abbott]

You should see it in the channel menu, too:

Yes, I see that, but using it to open the channel in a new tab is a lot more work than middle-clicking on the channel name, which would work with a good old html link.

[Alya Abbott]

Mm, we can probably make that work again. I'll file an issue.

Thanks!
