I´d rather stay on the current tab when I open a new one.
So I would like to have the default setting: open new tabs in background.

Is that possible?

It works for new written links (if configured so) - but not for ctrl-t, a mouse gesture, or right-click "open in new tab"

Check and see if your "menus.cfg" file has the lines in red below.

I am using KM 76 RC2 and I can right click and choose Open in Background. If you do not have this code, just copy these lines into your menus.cfg file and save it.

LinkOpen{
%ifplugin tabs
Open In Ne&w Tab=openLinkInNewTab
Open In Bac&kground Tab=openLinkInBackgroundTab
-
%endif
Open In &New Window=openLinkInNewWindow
Open In Backgro&und Window=openLinkInBackground
}

OOPS: this not right below. I think I am in wrong place. More later.

Edit 2:

No available command:

Tab Actions

    tabNew      id = ID_NEW_TAB
    tabClose      id = ID_CLOSE_TAB
    tabCloseAll      id = ID_CLOSE_ALLTAB
    tabCloseAllOther      id = ID_CLOSE_ALLOTHERTAB
    tabNext      id = ID_TAB_NEXT
    tabPrev      id = ID_TAB_PREV
    tabLast      id = ID_TAB_LAST

I have not tried this yet, but I think that if you add the line in red below to your accel.cfg file it will give you the option to open in the background tab from CTRL ALT T.

%ifplugin tabs
CTRL T = tabNew
CTRL ALT T = openLinkInBackgroundTab
%endif

Note: make these changes when KM is not running.

Edit 3

Do it this way for a CTRL ALT T to open a tab, apparently, in the background. Copy the following code and save it as a macro file.

MkNeBgTab.kmm ( Give it this name and save in macros folder)
