Accelerationkey on hyperlinks....

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...
