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.Reply in the Mail.app with a specific quote.

I would like to have a "new tab" button to click on as they have in Firefox and Opera. I guess their might be a way to have a script and tie it to an unused button.

That button does exist (to create a new tab), it may be included with the safari stand addon (I am not sure); but in the end right click on tool bar, select customize toolbar, and drag the new tab icon up into your toolbar set. Again, this may be a feature of Safari Stand; install as needed.

Yep. I see it is in SafariStand. Thanx

Is this only a Safari 3.1 feature? Doesn't work with Safari 3.0.4.

Yes, this was added in Safari 3.1. I wrote about it here http://borderlinefantastic.com/will-i-become-a-safari-user/

When I press "Command+T" I don't release my mouse...

I think you mean ctrl-doubleclick... at least that's what works with 10.4.x. Maybe it's different in Leopard.

Plain double-click works for me on Safari 3.1.1 and 10.4.11.

You can do the same with Camino 1.6.1!

I've always used that... except one time when i upgraded to Safari 3.0 and that stopped working... until the new version of Saft went available...
So at least in Tiger (never tried it on Leopard), you need saft for this.

Also available in Firefox 1 ... how revolutionary.

Safari needs built-in mouse gestures, NOW!

Clicking on my mouse-wheel opens a link in a new tab in Safari. Makes browsing a breeze.

Um... it works just fine, people.

Um, I'm using Safari 3.0.4 and 10.5.2 and it doesn't just work fine, people.
ishuma said 5:15PM on 6-27-2008
Safari 3.1.1 and 10.4.11

A Safari-tab question.
The ONLY reason I don't use Safari is that there doesn't seem to be an option to "open links in a new tab", the way you can in firefox.
Since I use bloglines for 99% of my web surfing, I like opening all the links in a single window, and I hate having tons of windows open.
Is there a way around this annoying Safari omission?
