Would like to change shortcut for opening link in background tab
would like to change shortcut for opening link in background tabThe shortcut for opening a link in a background tab is Ctl Shift Enter (Click). I would like to simplify this to Ctl Enter. When I close Opera, edit profile/standard_keyboard(1), and do a Find on background, it comes up in four places: History Panel, Browser Widget, Bookmarks Widget, and Links Widget. However, when I run Opera and do Tools, Preferences, Shortcuts, Edit Copy of Opera Standard, and do a quick find on background, it only comes up in three places, History Panel, Browser Widget and Bookmarks Widget. No Links Widget. In fact, I can't find Links Widget at in this method of editing, either by wandering around or by searching with Quick Find.
I tried making changes by directly editing standard_keyboard(1) (with Opera closed). Now when I do the Edit Keyboard Setup within Opera and search on background, in all three places, it very nicely says
Enter ctrl Open link in background page
But the fourth place is still missing, and when I'm browsing, ctrl click opens the link in the same window (tab). Shift click opens the link in a foreground new tab, as I told it to do. By the way, ctrl enter doesn't do anything.
Ctl Shift Enter (Click) is just too many keys for me. I use a touchpad, so there's no middle mouse button, and the right-button is inconveniently located.

No, and yes. You can't change what Ctrl-Shift-click does (or Ctrl-click, or Shift-click), but you can assign that action to other shortcuts as well.

Tab Order - opening in new background tab orderHey, is there a way to make it so a new background tab gets opened right next to the current tab instead of at the end of all my tabs?...
Menu > Settings > Preferences > Advanced > Tabs > Check "open tab next to active". It will make new tabs to be opened on the right of the active one.
For background tabs, just middle click on the link or use shift+click.

Not selecting new tabs from links is the default behavior, however, you can change this.
Go to Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Tabbed Browsing, and put a check in the box named "Select new tabs opened from links".

Hi,
The browser has to "cache" the data from that page in order for it to show up in History. You can't go back to a page you haven't visited.

I thought you can get this by unchecking 'Open pages in tabs' in the Preferences. That changes the behavior of Cmd+N and ctrl+click. You can still open links in tabs in that mode, using the link context menu.

Is this possible? I love Firefox and this is the only thing that I wish I could change. You can of course make links open in a background tab, but can you do the same with bookmarks?...
Check these prefs in about:config (via the url bar):

browser.tabs.loadInBackground (default:false)

I feel that the hyperlink context menu should replace the existing "Open Link in New Tab" option (which obeys the Tabbed Browsing "Load links in the background" setting) with separate options to explicitly select a foreground or background tab:
* Open Link in New Foreground Tab
* Open Link in New B...
Two menu items for opening a tab? That would increase clutter in the context menu. You do however have a point in that Shift+"Open Link in New Tab" should reverse the foreground/background preference.

Opening in the window by just left clicking without holding anything? Something like that never existed. But in your version you can use the middle mouse button for that.
