Hello,
I use K-Meleon nearly all the time, and there is one thing, that I really miss:
Pressing the ctrl-Key while klicking on a link should open the link in a new window.
(It's so boring always using the kontextmenu !!!!!!!!!!!!! )
Implementing that would make K-Meleon much more userfriendly !
cu around, and let me know how you think about that....

Egal,
Currently, click-keyboard combinations are not supported. Hopefully, we'll see that support from Mozilla soon.

Hello Andrew !
Thanks for taking time answering me, but I think (I am not 100% sure) Netscape 6.x supports this feature....
Maybe there is a way to do that ?

to expand on andrews response a little:
the EMBEDDED version of mozilla used by k-meleon doesn't support this function yet, even though NS and Mozilla do, but it may at some point, and then it will probably appear in k-meleon.

He all together,
I don't want to stretch this in length, and I am not a C or C++ prof, but I have some Delphi skills.....
So I ask some stupid questions:
How is it handled in Mozilla ?
When klicking on a link, is Mozilla self doing all the necessary stuff, or are there any events triggered ?
For example, if there is a event called AfterLinkClicked (just for example !) then you could check the keyboardstate, and if there is a key (ctrl or whatever) is pressed, then the link should be opened in a new browserinstande......
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to tell you anything about something, where you more know about then me, it's just a question.....
Hope I don't steal your time...
Egal....
