Ctrl-click, middle-click, and Shift-click New chat on ChatGPT. Opens a real new tab.
About Norm
ChatGPT’s New chat control is a button, not a link. Ctrl-click, Cmd-click, and middle-click do nothing.
Norm puts that behavior back.
- Click still starts a chat the way ChatGPT does.
- Ctrl-click or Cmd-click opens a new background tab.
- Middle-click opens a background tab.
- Shift-click opens a new window.
- The toolbar icon can start a chat or open one in a new tab.
Norm runs only on chatgpt.com. It does not read your prompts or conversations. It does not require an account.
