Links

Submitted by mghorm on
Hey i was just wondering if there is any way to make a link open in a new tab without right clicking. just set it as a default. Most sites i go to do when you link to another site.

Do you want a way to do this on your personal computer? Or are you asking if Brian could do this within the site? I always just click with the scroll wheel to open a link in a new tab...

If you hold ctrl while you click it will open in a new tab. Its a lot easier than right clicking. There is probably an option to set it as default but I'm not sure how at the moment.

KInda both. it would be nice if brian changed it but thanks i didn't know about the control thing. I have a laptop and i normally have a mouse so i just use wheel button. but it broke and it's really frustrating to right click on a laptop

if you use mozilla - there are many extensions out there that will do this for you. i use superdragandgo - it's an older extension that isn't supported anymore but you can make it work if you are nerdified enough, like me. you can grab a link, and throw it anywhere on the page and it will open in a new tab. doesn't explorer have an option to right-click and open in a new tab?

yea thats what i do but it turns out i'm a lazy bastard and was wondering if there was a way to make it automatically open a new tab. Also kind of reaching out brian to see if he could do. With all of the ideas for changing the site being thrown around i decided to put my two cents out there
