Safari tab article

From MacManIsHere:

Hi... this is my first posting. In my new issue of MacLife, in the Share section, there was a section entitled, "Terminal Basics" which included the what to type into Terminal to get Safari to open links as new tabs, instead of new windows. There was a "smear" of the print on the last part that makes it difficult to read. Could someone point me to where on this site I can find the entire line to type into Terminal? Also, do I select New Command, or New Shell to type it? Or do I just type it into the window that opens when I click on Terminal? I've never used Terminal before, and I don't want to mess this up. Thanks for helping! confused

Re: Safari tab article

The first day Safari was out, I programed one of my mouse buttons to do a command-click, just to open links in a new tab. Or, you can use FireFox's preferences to open links in a new tab with a normal click.

If you don't have a multi-button mouse, or don't want to use a new browser, please join us in the 21st century. I promise it won't hurt (much wink )

I think going through the terminal to force Safari to do something, is too much trouble. And I fear the terminal.

Re: Safari tab article

I know but I figure if I wanted to read both of the threads since they are the same one ... others would too. Now they don't have to go looking for it.

Re: Safari tab article

Ok, i'm going to ock this one. Now only mods/mag employees can post, and since the question seems to be answered. The intention i had for this thread was so the magazing employees could see this, not so posters would comment in both. There's no reason why anyone should want to see both threads. They're the same post.
