This stuff is nothing new
Authored by: Mikey-San on Dec 30, '01 04:16:55PM

Here's what I'd like to know:

When did IE first get these tricks? I remember doing this stuff in iCab a looooong time ago, for example (option-click for downloading, command-clicking for opening links in new windows, shift-command-clicking for opening a new window behind the current window, etc).

More importantly--and this is a complaint I have with just about every major software developer out there--if these really nice key commands exist, why not come right out and say it? Why bury them in help files, or not discuss them at all?

IE has had these tricks since before iCab existed. I'd wager they were in the first mac IE version.
