Make images easily clickable for full-size viewing

+4
−0

I want to propose a feature that makes embedded images easily clickable, allowing them to be opened in full size (ideally in a new tab or lightbox-style overlay).

Currently you have to right-click on the image to open up the context menu:

  • Copy Image Link -> open it in a separate tab
  • Open Image in New Tab

Example

This comment by Olin makes me believe that this procedure isn't very intuitive or well known.
(I wanted to respond to his comment, but wasn't able to, because as a new user, I can only comment on my own posts and answers to them.)

Have you tried middle click to directly open the image in a new tab? (3 comments)

The extra unnecessary overhead is browser-specific

I don't know why your browser makes it so hard for you. Consider switching? All my browsers have "open in new tab" as the first context menu action.

The screenshot shows "open image in new tab" as first entry.

I am really, seriously blind, and sorta stupid at the same time.

Oof, no, never.

Okay, I'm blind as well. But blind or not, having to switch to the context menu is more cumbersome than it needs to be. A left or middle mouse click (as implemented by SE) works more smoothly.
