I want to be able to right click on a link and then choose an alphanumeric (well, alpha) key to open the link on a background *layer* (not window). In Opera, the menu that pops up says "open in background page" and you can select "e". In k-meleon, I get the appropriate menu items, but there is no shortcut key for opening a layer in the background (just windows).

Also, is there a way to move the layer tabs to the bottom of the browser window, rather than at the top as they are now?

Thanks! Greg

Greg, I haven't tried this yet. It might work. Put it in your user.Chrome in your K-Meleon profile. You can open the file (Open with....) NotePad or whatever, and just edit it in and save it. Please post back to say if it works:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/* Display the Tabbar at the bottom */
* #content > tabbox {-moz-box-direction: reverse;}
*/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh, oh. Greg, I posted that with the safety-catches on. That would store it in your file, but it wouldn't function. Sorry. Should be:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/* Display the Tabbar at the bottom */

content > tabbox {-moz-box-direction: reverse;
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Is that right, guys?

I tried it myself, Greg, but no go. Maybe it's too Firefoxy. Or maybe it's Close but not Quite. You can still see if it WFY.

-- Or someone else can suggest where I went wrong. Thanks.

sorry for not paying attention proper.
just have a look into accel.cfg (to see what it does) and write your own shortcut.
in menus You can put a & in front of the submenus letter you want to function as
shortcut.
that is supposed to do the trick too. (take care no to use the same key twice).
regards

forgot - layer tabs at bottom - probably no way / reason: reduced chrome .
hope i understood You guy well enough, regards

> is there a way to move the layer tabs to the bottom of the browser window, rather than at the top as they are now?

No, there isn't. K-Meleon uses native Windows widgets, and I don't think Windows normally supports placing toolbars in the bottom of windows.

Thanks Guenter, here's what worked so I can open layers as I wish using right mouse click and the key of my choice: I'm using 0.9b, and instead of editing accel.cfg, I edited the menus in configs, accessed from the Edit -> Preferences menu. I made "n" open link in new layer, and "e" to open link in background layer. Schweet!

thx rmn >> i always thought it was another chrome thing.
& Greg i found the new 0.9 also > & am glad You have it to Your wishes!
