hifive Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 That's too clumsy. Is there a way to click the scroll wheel and have it load in the Background like firefox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Floyd Veteran Posted April 27, 2005 Veteran Share Posted April 27, 2005 thats middle clic, so yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillitnn92 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 thats middle clic, so yes 585838958[/snapback] you can't middle click from the personal bar though. only if you open bookmarks panel, but then you still get the tab coming to main focus. so the only way is to ctrl+shift to make tab open in background.

moogleman Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 you can't middle click from the personal bar though. 585840156[/snapback] For me the only bar I've been able to middle-click is the personal bar, which I don't even use anymore because of the start bar and the bar to the right of tabs.

I'm fairly certain that's a limitation of Windows, and not the fault of Opera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of things minor things they could add to make a lot of people happy. Hopefully they will listen and do it, as they usually are pretty good about.
