      Could you make the help links target a new tab/window rather than open over the top of the current page?

        Sure. That's  good idea. Why did no one else think of that?  :)

        Pushed.

          Thanks Steve! That is much improved. I thought it used to be that way but apparently I always just middle clicked when using those (which wasn't often anyway).

            It used to do that but I changed it several years ago (4e5cfb02832630b55e5880201d3bdd1418406edf) because it seemed better to give the user a choice rather than to force a new window/tab. Someone can always middle click to open a new window/tab.

            The Help link still makes some sense to open new since it's external, but the other shortcut buttons like log and status shouldn't open in new windows at least. Those were the ones that annoyed me the most by opening in new windows unnecessarily.
