change the middle mouse button click on a tab to duplicate

[Galedon]

A have a small suggestion for more intuitive UI.

When I click the mouse middle button on any link, it will open in a new tab. When I click it on back/forward it open its in a new tab. It is a great set-up that i use all the time, but following the same logic I would expect that such click on a tab will dupplicate it - it closes it instead.

Could you please make the dupplication a new default behaviour? O:-)

This is a great idea! I believe such behavior already exists on some chromium forks like Thorium. I had to switch to Firefox, which made me realize just how satisfying that feature was.

It doesn't have to be default behavior, but being able to change the duplicate tab shortcut would be great, however in about:keyboard doesn't have it as a customizable shortcut.
