I know there is a right click option for individual history links in the list, but I prefer a left click option for this and home button. Is possible?

For the Home-button to open a new tab, write this into a new kmm-file in macros folder:

# Open Home in New Tab (http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?1,146348)

HomeTab{
macroinfo=_("Open home page in a new tab");
opentab(getpref(STRING,$KM_Homepage));
}
$Home=HomeTab;

This should work if you only use a simple 1-page Home page

History in new tab: no idea if there are any native options?
A quick web search tells, one can middle-click an entry to open it in a new tab.

If middle-clicking is inconventient (touchpads etc.), here's another little workaround-macro for testing:

Places_History_Tab{
macroinfo=_("Open history in a new tab");
opentab("about:blank");
opennew("chrome://history/content/history.xul");
}

And in toolbars.cfg the button-command must be changed manually too:
Change macros(Places_History) to macros(Places_History_Tab)

But there's a catch:
this opens a new tab BEFORE choosing any history entry. That means if you only want to take a quick look in the history menu but not open anything, you'll have to close that empty tab manually again.

EDIT: Have started making a full macro, just not quite finished yet.

Great! Opening Home in new tab works!
I just use the single homepage.

Thanks siria, very kind, I'll wait for full history macro.

Thinking about it, instead of fiddling with the above, perhaps just change the original macro? That would be a lot easier, it's enough to insert 1 single line only. That means no other files have to be edited.

in macros/places.kmm, just add the red line:

Quote

Places_History{
macroinfo=_("Open the history");
opentab("about:blank");
opennew("chrome://history/content/history.xul");
}

The only prob is that updating K-Meleon can overwrite same-name files. To avoid this I usually rename mine, for example "places_mod.kmm"

Thanks siria will test later this evening.

Thank you.

I tried both methods but still opening in current tab using Goanna

Ah pity. For me it works, but did only a quick test on an offline computer, may be just luck. So until this important option hopefully gets integrated some day, can think only of 3 ways:

- middle-click on history entries
- or CTRL + leftclick
- or try rodocops workaround in his PRO builds:

Quote

Places_History{
macroinfo=_("Open the history");
opentab("chrome://history/content/history.xul");
}

I'll try your method again siria in the next few days, I might have confused
the two versions, in the meantime rodocop's workaround is very useful.
