Always open new links in Tab - SAFARI

[squirrelonfire]

How can you make safari always open new links in tabs. I don't like the fact that I have to hold shift and left click, it really slow me down.
Any help will be greatly appreciated guys.

There's no way to make this the default behavior, unfortunately.

To open in new tabs you command-click, btw.

Saft Demo

I dowloaded Saft Demo
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/internet_utilities/saft.html
It lets you always open a new windows in a tab. Plus other features like creating more short cuts w/ your defined buttons, u now can block ads, banners from the menu (instead of going to preferences). And tons of other features, u can read it at that li nk above.
Thanks 4 replying.

There is also glims, which is a free plugin (now compatible with safari 4 too). This particular behavior of safari has always bugged me, and the first thing I always end up doing is finding a way to add it. Glims is my favorite plug-in so far that adds this function.

I found this Terminal command some time ago. It didn't work in the developer preview of Safari 4 but it does work in the Safari 4 beta for me. You must quit Safari first then restart.

defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true

even i am using glims. but it does nt open certain links in tabs like links from your gmail account. for those u need this terminal hack.

This is the only reason I don't use Safari. If only we had tab mix plus for Safari.

I think I have tried the terminal hack before without success. I will give it another go. Thanks.

you can just hold command and click. very easy. if you want goto preferecnes and make tabs 'hot' as in when you open a new tab, it automatically selects them..

or do a google

not sure if this works with safari 4 - didn't really read over it.

I'd be careful about installing plugins on the Safari 4 beta. There have been some stories on the forums recently about plugins really screwing it up. Unfortunately I can't remember any of them at the moment.

Still no love from Terminal. Tried Saft also. Still doesn't work. Looks like I'm staying with Firefox.

Edit: I was wrong, it does work for me. Any website with target="_blank" works.

I want every link to open in a new tab.
