New tab when accessing FTP site

Is there some key I can hold down or setting to toggle that will make Opus make a new tab when I access an FTP site from the FTP menu? Logically, one would think holding shift would do this, but it does not.

Thanks!

I don't know of a way you can do it from the standard FTP site list, but you can create a button that will open an FTP site in a new tab. For example I have an FTP site named Iowa State Bank, the following will open a new tab and then log into that site.

Go "@Iowa State Bank" NEWTAB

If you want it to always happen, you can add the NEWTAB argument to the Go FTPSITELIST command that generates the FTP list.

If you just want to hold down a key to do it, for example shift, then the command would be Go FTPSITELIST KEYARGS shift:NEWTAB.

Thanks Jon, that works perfectly. I'm a bit unsure how to get it to turn into a menu though. I made a new button with that command and dragged it to the Menu bar, but it just ends up expanding out instead of being a drop down like the original FTP menu.

For example I have:
File Edit ... Favorites FTPsite1 FTPsite2 FTPsite3 Settings Tools ...

I figured it out, thanks again!
This would probably be a better default setting for the FTP menu.
Go FTPSITELIST FTPSITEICONS KEYARGS shift:NEWTAB

I am able to make a button that opens an ftp session in a new tab.

Is there a way to have ftp sessions that are started from the folder tree always open in new tabs?

You can do it in the FTP menu's list of sites.

The folder tree normally navigates in the active tab. You can change that, but it would affect the whole tree, not just the FTP sites. (Actually, off the top of my head, I'm not sure if it would affect FTP sites, but it'd affect normal folders, which probably isn't what you'd want either way.)
