Image modal

Images in issues, PRs, comments and READMEs open over the page instead of in a new tab. Zoom, pan, and move to the next image with the arrow keys.

Appears in: Images On by default

What opens

  • Images in rendered Markdown: issue and PR descriptions, comments, READMEs.
  • Images that link elsewhere, like CI badges, keep their link unless you change it in the settings.
  • Emoji never open, and a click with ⌘, Ctrl, Shift or Alt keeps the browser’s behavior.
