Terminal Tips: Force Safari to open all links in new tab

@Johan S.: you're the reason we can't have nice things.
@Everyone else: the important thing about this is that it overrides evilness like _blank--particularly whatever black magic gmail uses that makes Safari completely ignore tab and command-key settings.

Now you mention it. Is there a reason links on tuaw never have the '_blank' set as target. It's so annoying having to puch back back back or retyping the url.

It will work, but thats not the point, in firefox, using your third button (if you have the 4 button apple mighty mouse then you can set up the scroll ball click function to be the third button) you can open it in a new tab, while left mouse button will do ordinary in-tab open. And using the third mouse button works in safari too, just like in firefox, so if you want the functionality, i would say it would be better to get a mighty mouse for your mac! I wouldn't always want to open links in a new tab, only sometimes, but for people who want to open every link in a new tab, then this would work great.

I must be a clutz, but isn't this repeating the same entry as this one:

This one doesn't work on Safari 4 developer preview 1.

Is there a way to open 'new' windows in a new tab? This is a feature that I love in mozilla. Most links open in the same window, but those links that ask the browser to open in a new window actually get opened in a new tab.

I'd be a happy camper if there was a command-click equivalent in Mobile Safari. Hold down the link for two seconds, get an option to open in a new tab.

OK, so how do I get Mail.app to either make a new tab in the current window or stop popping a new window UNDER my current one?

Note that this causes strange behaviour in Safari 4 DP. If you click on Links that should create these small undecorated Popups (like Help or something), Safari wont open them in Popups anymore but will resize the whole Window (with your 20 Tabs) and will remove your Address-Bar. The only way to restore Safari then is to close and re-open the window.
Had to disable this feature.

BTW: You had that tip already a few months ago ;)

Why on God's green Earth would you want EVERY link to open in a new tab? Middle mouse button FTW!
