Question about Safari browser....

[AJ Muni]

When i click on links in safari...it opens it up in a brand new window....is there anyway i can just make it another TAB in my current window...??? for example in the picture below...if i were to CLICK ON " Properta Aluminum case for ipod nano" ...it opens it up in a new window...and after reading it i have to close it, and come back to the original macrumors page....any ideas???

Anything from most forums will open in a new window. What you should do is cmd+click and choose "open in new tab." There is a way to force all new windows to open up in tabs in firefox, but I don't know if you can do it in Safari.

When you click on a new link hold down the Apple key it will open in new tab. See the jpeg below for other tab options in Safari.

Ooops Summer beat me to it...

Apple-Shift-Left/Right Arrows. Or Apple-} / {

Or click on them. Apple-W closes them, Apple-T opens a new one.

And you'd also be amazed to note that if you look at the functions in the menus, lo and behold, the shortcuts are written next to them!

What you should do is cmd+click and choose "open in new tab."

Control + click will open up the menu to select a new tab.
Command + click will just open the link in a new tab.

If you have a multi-button mouse, clicking with the middle button will open the link in a new tab.
