Closes #9954

What changed

  • Intercept unmodified clicks on the global New issue action while browsing the Refined GitHub repository.
  • Navigate directly to /issues/new/choose so the full-page issue form and its Refined GitHub helpers can run.
  • Preserve modifier-key and middle-click behavior through the existing new-tab handling.

Why

GitHub's repository-and-template picker modal prevents rgh-improve-new-issue-form helpers from running. This keeps the behavior scoped to the Refined GitHub repository and leaves other repositories unchanged.

Validation

  • Added a DOM regression test covering both current GitHub selectors, event cancellation, navigation, and altered-click preservation.
  • Confirmed the test fails on the unchanged base and passes with this patch.
  • npm test: 567 passed, 28 skipped.
  • npm run format:check passed.

Test URLs

Screencast

A normal click on the global New issue action now bypasses GitHub's repository picker modal and opens /issues/new/choose directly, allowing rgh-improve-new-issue-form to run.

The screencast also shows the helper converting the cache-refresh link into a button, auto-filling the local development version, and checking the configured-token confirmation.

Booger poem

A booger blocked the modal's way,
One plain click swept the goo away.

The code looks good. If you tested this please include a screencast or gif of this working. You can use LICEcap for example. Untested PRs are not entertained.

Author

I'm the human author and have now tested this locally on macOS with the unpacked extension built from this branch.

The screencast added to the PR description shows that a normal click on the global New issue action bypasses GitHub's repository picker modal and opens the full-page template chooser. It then opens the bug-report form, where rgh-improve-new-issue-form converts the cache-refresh link into a button, auto-fills the local development version, and checks the configured-token confirmation.

The automated test also covers both current selectors and preserves modifier-key/middle-click behavior.

Could you please reopen the PR?
