It's either that, or option-left click. That surely is a platform issue, not an app issue. Regarding new tab/new page logic in general, I have one complaint, and an overall suggestion that I think I've stated somewhere already: complaint: with "open in tabs" on, launching a web link from outside Epiphany makes it open a tab IN THE BACKGROUND and load the link there (in any one of its currently open windows). Although the window is brought to the top (and to the current desktop), if it has lots of tabs, it's very difficult to find the new tab. suggestion: make tab browsing a browser-internal feature. That is, new tabs will be opened from inside the browser only. Links launched from outside the browser (desktop, email, whatever), should always open in a new window. This would be consistent, because if there is no browser window already open, one would have to be opened anyway. So, middle mouse button (or alt-left click) would always open in a new tab, and links from outside would always open in a new window. Normal left click on a link on a web page would always open in the current tab (unless overriden by the site). Now you just need to decide whether "open this link in a new window" is a common enough action to deserve its own one-click shortcut or not. -- Osma Ahvenlampi <oa@iki.fi>
