Decided to write it in python for brevity.

if you.can_read_this():
    you.is_too_close = True 

though if you know what you’re doing, you’d be more likely to do something like

you.is_too_close = you.can_read_this()

Or Ctrl+Click to open in a new tab in the background, or Ctrl+Shift+Click to open in a new tab and switch to it. Regardless, I agree with OP that this should be the default.

If you’re serious about becoming fluent, apps will not give that to you. Ditch everything else and focus on input.

I’m using VSCodium daily and most extensions work, with the notable exception of official MS-published extensions, which mostly require VSCode.
