Mac 101: Safari tabs

Here's a quick tip for Safari users. As you know, tabbed browsing is best thing to happen to the 'net since The Tron Guy. Keyboard jockeys create new tabs by pressing Command-T. But there are a few of you who dislike releasing the mouse, even for a second.

You folks can simply double-click the grey area next to a tab to create a new one. Everybody wins!

Using 3.1.1 -- no need for multiple tabs to be open for this to work. Doing it right now. Works great. Was right clicking before. This is much easier. Thanks for the tip.

Using dev. preview of Safari 4, I can say that I do -not- need to already have two tabs open for this to work. I'm still a cmd-t fellow myself, but for the clickies out there, I'd guess it's coming in 4. And by coming, I mean available now if you feel like using test software.

The thing I don't understand is why people are still using 3.0.x, when there is a perfectly good 3.1 version available! Why are people always so reluctant to upgrade to the latest version?

I and (i am sure everyone else) figured it out when we downloaded the new version of safari!!!

Where to click to open a tab when you only have one page open and the tab-bar isn't visible? Apart from Archive -> New tab, that is...
