Automatically Switch To New Tab When "Open link in new Tab"
Hello community,
I would like to be able to see the newly opened tab, when I click "Open link in new Tab", so I don't need to switch manually.
We already had a discussion about that, but no response from developers!
Thank you in advance!
ph_007 I just learned that if one uses a mouse with a wheel, using the wheel to click on a link opens that link in a new browser tab, AND, better yet, holding down the SHIFT key while using the wheel to click on the link opens the link in a new tab AND AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTS THE FOCUS TO THAT NEW TAB! Nifty!
- Wow, thanks for sharing!
Some additional information with regards to this topic:
- When holding down the SHIFT button + click left mouse's button = Edge opens the link in a new tab, but doesn't switch to it automatically (so you can open as many links as you want in a new tabs)
- When holding down the SHIFT+CTRL buttons + click left mouse's button = Edge opens the link in a new tab AND switches to the new tab automatically (which I was looking for)
- (maybe not so useful) When holding down the SHIFT button + click left mouse's button = Edge opens the link in a completely new browser's window
P.S. All the above works for bookmarks as well.
- This is ridiculous. Microsoft has known about this issue in the MS Edge application for 2 years (or more) and yet nothing has been done about it. I think I'll just use Firefox.
