I don't get your point. And no Mac browser I have used-and I've used them all-does this. If there's an option for it, I am glad that it's never been enabled. As for open a link in a new browser window, that works as expected on both platforms. Remember, I was referring to just opening a new BLANK browser window and typing in a NEW URL, or accessing a bookmark. When you do this in Windows (CNTRL+N), the new window opens with the content of the old window. ICK!! Plus, even on a 2GHz P4, creating a new window or document is a stilted, part-by-part process. The window's borders kinda sorta appear... And then the rest of the components of the window stagger into place. Real skanky, man! Even on smokin' hardware like that. > On the Mac I can use command-click to open a > link in a new window while leaving the old one open too but Windows doesn't > do that (you can right-click but that requires a number of mouse > movements... and I'm a keyboard user by and large... kind of ironical that > the Mac is better for a touch typist than Winblows, but Winblows, with its > second mouse button (most Macs have only one button) works better for > mouse-users). Yup, I'm aware of Command+click. But, I want tabbed browsing in Safari. Until then, I use Shift+Command+click to open a link in a new window in THE BACKGROUND (crucial for my lining up a wad of articles at macsurfer.com). I was wondering if there is a key command to open a link in a new window within IE for Windows. Sad to hear your confirmation that it doesn't exist. You know, Windows guys who diss Macs for the one button mouse seem to happily ignore the fact that TEN FINGERS are BETTER than one cursor. -- Mac Canada is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
