Tip 222 - Safari4 [8] - Opening new tabs/windows.
In Safari's preferences there is a tab for "Tabs". Open this
Safari :: Preferences :: Tabs
With the option ticked
You can now click on the top option "[Apple]-click opens a link in a new tab". If you do then the information at the bottom changes as can be seen below:
With the option UNticked
With the option ticked it opens new links in a new tab rather than a new window but it does not force the issue! To force the issue you hold down the [APPLE] key.
With the option not ticked it does the same but with a new window.
With both options pressing [SHIFT] at the same time makes that tab or window the active one but this too can be overridden with the second option in which case holding the button reverses the situation.
Holding down the [ALT] key reverses the tab/window creation...
I know this sounds complicated but it is not that bad and just makes it more flexible. Keep the properties window open and change the options and the text at the bottom will change to tell you what it all means.
