Tokar Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 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?

Dennis Tardan Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 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. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that is what I have been doing for years...I just wish there was some shortcut which could do it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
