> I should be able to ctrl+click or click using the mouse wheel to open the link in a new tab. I sincerely believe that buttons that do not adhere to this shouldn't have a hand cursor, and that doing so is an authoring mistake. I disagree. Hand cursor is not the only thing that shows that something can be open in a new tab, as there is, for example, much better sign: tooltip with an URL. Also, I remember a lot of browsers allowing to submit forms in a new tab for button, so ctrl+click is not reserved only for links. And this behavior potentially can be changed by developers as well. Having a pointer cursor (or any change) over a button makes it more accessible. It is a cheapest way to make a button accessible for users with hand motor skills problems, as it makes it much easier to understand when the cursor is over a button. But I have written all of this in my article, so I, again, repeat myself, oh well. -- GitHub Notification of comment by kizu Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1936#issuecomment-384182743 using your GitHub account
