open new tabs beside opener

I was wondering if this is something that an extension should deal with
or whether it should be added to conkeror.

I have always liked having tabs opened beside the opener, and had
used various extensions in firefox to make this possible.  I looked at
about:config but there did not seem any setting for this directly
available. Yes, I use the tabbed view in conkeror most of the time. ;)

Has anyone already dealt with this?  If so what did they do, and if
not would it be something that should be part of conkeror?  I figure
once started with this, various other choices could be made

Thanks,

Rohan

I don't know if this has been done by anyone, but I could certainly
see it being part of the tab bar module in Conkeror as an option.

  It's a good idea.  I think the place to implement it is at a lower
level, where buffers are actually created and their order deterimined.
Unlike Firefox, Conkeror's tabs are merely a visualization of the
buffer-list, otherwise independent of it, so to have tab-bar/new-tabs do a
bunch of special processing would not make the feature available to other
modules and visualizations, such as the completions list displayed by `C-x
b'.

  I think a prerequisite is being able to change the order of buffers

  Reorder tabs or buffers: http://bugs.conkeror.org/issue151
