Control Click to open in new tab?

Help & Support
1

Is there any way to configure control, shift, or some other modifier key to force links to open in a new tab?

In my case, I want more control over where my custom buttons open. I have configured 3-buttons to open normally with a left click, and open in a newtab (findtabexisting) with the right click. But this limits my options in those buttons. I'd rather have more flexibility with those buttons, and instead decide with a simple "control & click" to open in a new tab.

thanks

You can use @keydown to change what buttons do when ctrl or shift are held down.

Thanks, looks promising.

Though it doesn't seem to work with newtab=findexisting.

Any thoughts?

It should work.

If you need detailed help, please link your account and post the button code you're trying to get working.

Thanks. Maybe I just don't quite understand how to input the commands into the button.

What I have is as follows:

GO "D:\pathname"
@keydown:ctrl, newtab=findexisting

I've tried a few different formats for the @keydown part and every time it just launches in the current tab, regardless of my action

I think you want something like:

@keydown:none
GO "D:\pathname"
@keydown:ctrl
GO "D:\pathname" newtab=findexisting
