If you want the link to be opened in a new page, you need to create the link and then enable the check box. This can be quite annoying when you always want the link to open in a new window. This plugin enables the check box to be ticked by default so that a link always opens in a new window every time you insert/edit link. ## Screenshots [⌊The above screenshot shows how the check box will look by default after the plugin is enabled.⌉⌊The above screenshot shows how the check box will look by default after the plugin is enabled.⌉[ The above screenshot shows how the check box will look by default after the plugin is enabled.
