Safari 4 open new link in tab

Sunday, 03 March 2009

I like the new Safari a whole lot. Unfortunately there is no easy way to force Safari to open links in a new Tab. However, with this simple terminal command, the aforementioned annoyance can be laid to rest.

defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true

Restart Safari and voila!

I like uniform key commands. Hence the following quick tip.  Now i can move between tabs in TextMate with ease.

System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts.

Now, add a new short cut and name it “Next File Tab” and then add whichever keyboard shortcut you prefer. Do likewise for “Previous File Tab.” Voila!
