Shift-click link opens in new window...


Recommended Posts

Everyone knows, or should know, that when you Shift-click a link in IE, or pretty much any browser, the link opens in a new window (or tab).

Is there a shortcut similar to Shift-click which does the opposite? That is, a shortcut which forces the link to open in the current window/tab?

In IE, drag the link to the status bar and drop it.

In Firefox, drag the link to the toolbar's "Go" button and drop it.

The Shift-click a link in IE to open in a new window has stopped working on my computer. When I try it, nothing happens. If I just click the link it opens in that window, but I can't open in a new window. I am using IE 6. This is new. It has worked fine for years. I would really appreciate any help you could provide. Thanks.

Yeah that is what I have been doing for years...I just wish there was some shortcut which could do it as well.
