Use drag and drop to make Safari's history more usable

You are working too hard. Just drag the url from the history folder to: a) the targetted tab or b) the unused portion of the "Tab Bar." The latter will open the site in a new tab automatically. (Safari 1.1 or later)

Use drag and drop to make Safari's history more usable
Authored by: psandiford on Dec 14, '03 08:46:49AM

Here is an additional hint for dragging in Safari 1.1 and later. I use a Pismo and have remapped the "enter" key (using DoubleCommand) so it ~usually~ behaves as a command key. I've noticed a useful glitch with this configuration but I can't pin down the behavior.

Option/Command+click opens a clicked link in a new window (behind) when tabs are enabled. ~Sometimes~ this behavior changes if I use the remapped Command key. Frequently, instead of opening the link, the url "attaches" to the mouse pointer so you can drag the link after releasing all of buttons and keys buttons. Clicking the mouse/pad again will release the dragged link. Universal Access prefs are at the "default" settings.

This isn't truely repeatable, so I'd appreciate it if someone can pinpoint what is happening.

If you have a 3-button (or 2-button+wheel) mouse, you can just double-click the link with the middle button (or the wheel), it will open it in a new tab. Very easier.
