Thx Tobias for asking! … thx to User who requested this feature, and Thx Jeremy
I DO/HAVE use/d this feature Monthly for 5 Years! to aid debugging quirky TW's I peruse. Actually _not_ _just_ TW related but I use a b r o a d (type and version) range of browsers and OS'. There's been numerous instances (Use Case/s) where _Close_ or _CloseOthers_ (in Toolbar::Commands) will _not_ function!? So resort to _CloseAll_ button, or browser refresh ugh! …have to re-navigate to relevant tiddlers, this is where _chkToggleLinks_ comes to the rescue! …OR the worst Use Case is opening each tiddler in Browser Tab!?!! I sympathize with your Dev perspective…of grief/hassle, maybe there are alternate implementations of the _chkToggleLinks_ Feature Set. IF/when _chkToggleLinks_ is removed, Please, PLEASE document that FACT at least in the Revision Tracking Comments w/in GitHub; at best documented with TWc Has there been further Discussions on the _chkToggleLinks_ theme via other communication media since Mar 2013? Has there been further Actions on the _chkToggleLinks_ theme within TWc (v2.7.x, 2.8.x) &/or TW5 since Mar 2013?
