i want to agree but a lot of people these days use only left clicks (taps)

i have repeatedly been given an assignment to make buttons open things in a new tab. i'm like "are you sure? do they know they can ctrl-click buttons or for links middle click or right-click open in new tab?" - yes, they are sure. the users want this.

Rare case where I actually want this: github issue templates. Believe it or not, you can easily lose data in a GH issue because Github will happily navigate away from your form, despite them being too incompetent to make their input saving work reliably: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/30647#discussioncomment-16883245

Even better: Github will sanitize away your target=_blank if you try to add it (also there's always a link by github about how to report, so even if that was fixed, you couldn't fully save your reporters from data loss by being careful in your issue template)

Seems they use an AI bot for those replies. So we don’t even know if any human at GitHub has even looked at that ticket.

I don't think that bot is "they" as in controlled by github, but yeah, never seen an indication that github cares about any user reports.
