Feedly Preview Window Extension

Are you a power user on Feedly, but annoyed that the 'v' shortcut key opens articles in a focused tab? This extension fixes that!

After installing this extension, when looking at an article in list view, simply press ; and it will open in a new preview window. Any additional articles will be opened in the same preview window. This is perfect for large or multiple monitors and offers you a full \"reading pane\" for your articles.

Want to change your shortcut key? Simply visit the options page.

Note: This extension is but a few line changes from Aaron Saray's awesome feedlybackgroundtab extension. This workflow is something I have sought for a long time, but I wouldn't have been able to do if Aaron hadn't open sourced and documented his extension so well.

Adam Potaznik (ID: 0000001d99efff2a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/12/2014 Awesome addon. But is there a way for it to open the new tab in the new window in the background? For example, if I am already watching a video on the right, I wish I could still go through my feeds on the left, opening background tabs on the right pane while keeping the video in focus.
