Option: "All new windows open in tabs instead"
Authored by: clh on Nov 05, '04 01:21:16PM

Has anyone gotten this option to work? Or am I misunderstanding what it does: I always work with tabs enabled, and when I click on a URL I'd like it to default to creating a new tab rather than replacing the current one (i.e. to behave as if I control-clicked Open Link in New Tab). With this option enabled in Saft, it still replaces the current tab.

It probably doesn't work because those links aren't supposed to open new windows.

You do know about command/option/shift-click shortcut combinations for opening links in new tabs/windows? The Tabs panel of Safari Preferences gives some control over that behavior.

You can also click links with your middle button if you have a multi-button mouse. They'll open in a new tab (unless your prefs are reversed).
