Previously when pressing the
O
key on article list, the handler for that keypress first simulated a click on that event in order to mark it as read, and only then opened the website that item links to in another tab. When having a lot of items on screen this caused a huge delay between pressingO
and opening the linked article in a new tab. The delay was sometimes 5, even 10 whole seconds. This simple fix makes it so the article opens first, and then the click simulation happens afterwards.
