Prevent unintentional scrolling while dragging in Safari
Authored by: bkemper on Aug 26, '06 09:52:08AM

When you have a URL without an anchor tag (i.e. it is not an actual link), you can also select it and choose "Open URL" from the Services menu. As long as you have "Open links from applications in a new tab" set in the first panel of Sarari's preferences, this will result in a new tab with that url's page in it (otherwise it will be a new window).

Even better, get ICeCoffEE. This allows you to command click on any URL in most Cocoa applications (including Safari) for the same effect. It uses its own logic to figure out where the url starts and stops, but you can select the link first if you want to give it a hand (useful sometimes when there is no "http://" part, or some unescaped characters in the search string).

ICeCoffEE also lets you add the Services menu to the main menu bar (instead of hiding it in the application menu) or to the right-click contextual menu of all your applications, or both. It has a control panel to turn any of these features on or off.

I love ICeCoffEE and think Apple should build it into the system, but some people might not like that it is an Application Enhancer module. I've never had any problems with that, but i expect there will be some comments negative comments about it now from the anti-APE crowd.
