Opens Feedly articles in a background tab on custom hotkey

Description from store

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

Han Wang 2021-12-01: Perfect for opening feedly articles in backgound tab!
Keitaro Yoshimura 2021-09-16: I'd say it works great. Necessary and sufficient. ...... Except that when you restart Chrome, the hotkey settings return to their default values.
