Mid-button: Open link in new tab:


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I like to use Launchonfly which opens a menu with the mid-button, and there is no other mouse option:

So I wonder whether I could configure in Firefox a different mouse button combo to open a link in a new tab. Is there a way? thanks

The Tab Mix Plus extension offers a lot of mouse customization options.

You should also check out Mouse Gestures.

The problem is that both FFX "open link in new tab" and LaunchonFly use the wheelmouse button. TabmixPlus, which I use, allows to configure plenty of click options in the tab area but not on a link as I described.

Changing the mouse button mapping in the driver doesn?t help either since the same button would still launch LOF and FFX open new link...

Instead of MouseGestures I use StrokeIt which works throughout windows (not browser specific) and is very useful (highly recommended). This will end up being the solution, by using back/forward gestures and thus allowing me to remap the corresponding mouse button to a LaunchOnFly hotkey. :-)

Incidentally StrokeIt doesn?t have "Rocker" gestures (MouseGestures does) but you can get that functionality with the Rocker utility: http://lifehacker.com/software/exclusive-l...09.php#c1417938

Thanks all for the suggestions ;-)
