Sep 22, 2016 1:12 PM in response to tk4982by Kappy,It works quite well here running Sierra and Safari. Do you have your Tab bar enabled? Check under Safari's View menu.

Sep 22, 2016 1:30 PM in response to Kappyby tk4982,Hi Kappy,
I will explain my problem here again. I usually use command key + mouse left click to open a link to a new tab in Safari, Chrome, Firefox..etc. However, ever since I updated to Sierra I am not able to do that. However, when I holding down the command key and left click the link opens to a new tab. But in El Capitan and all other previous OS X, It used to work like this, just tab a command key (without holding it) and left click to open a link to a new tab in any internet browser.

Sep 22, 2016 1:47 PM in response to Kappyby tk4982,I have the same setting as you are showing me in your post. When I tries to open hyperlink in a new tab I usually press command key once (not keep pressing the key) and click the link. However, after the update, now I have to keep pressed the command key and click the link in order to open a link in a new tab which is annoying. If you updated to Sierra, can you try to open a link in a new tab by just press the command key once and click the hyperlink? If it worked can you show me your Accessibility setting for mouse and keyboard?

Sep 22, 2016 2:05 PM in response to tk4982by Kappy,It has always been that way. You must hold down the COMMAND key while clicking the mouse. It is not a key sequence but a set of keys together (or in this case, a key and a mouse click. Perhaps, you have some other settings like a longer delay or key repeat that may have coincidentally produced the results you observed. I don't really know. But I cannot reproduce what you described on my system with Sierra. Unfortunately, I don't have another computer here running El Capitan on which to test it. I only have my personal recollections from all the past OS X versions I have used.
So, I can't provide you with a solution, per se.

Sep 22, 2016 3:05 PM in response to Kappyby tk4982,No, I've been using this Sticky Key function for at least 10 years.
However, I just tested out on my Mac mini and this feature is gone in Sierra. One click Sticky Key is still working for copying and pasting (without holding down Command (⌘) Key + c or v) and maybe some other shortcut. I updated my MacBook Pro yesterday and I thought some of the keyboard settings were changed, but now my updated Mac mini also doesn't work. Just to make sure, I also tested out on my old MacBook, running 10.6.8, and yet it works like a charm.
Opening a link in a new tab with just a click of Command (⌘) Key + left click on a mouse (without holding down the Command (⌘) Key) was one of my favorite feature for Sticky Key but it is GONE in Sierra. Apple needs to bring this function back. I do not want to hold down the Command Key!
Anyway Kappy, thank you for trying to solve this problem.

Sep 22, 2016 3:48 PM in response to Kappyby tk4982,Yes, I am not sure why Apple decided to take out this feature.

Sep 27, 2016 11:30 AM in response to tk4982by norko55,Well I had the same problem as you and I found what causes this problem for me..
When I installed Sierra it worked good, then I attached apple keyboard on my macbookpro - then it worked good too, but when I was traveling I forgot keyboard at home and like I cant use CMD+Click function anywhere.. Even some simple OS X function to close running app Shift + Right mouse click - not worked for me.
SO I found your thread here and when I come home and attached my keyboard again so it started to work again normal on my external keyboard, so in my case the problem was relaited with keyboard. -
Sep 27, 2016 11:53 AM in response to tk4982by dialabrain,FWIW, I don't know why it's not working for you. It works for me on three different Macs all running Sierra. Just go to System Preferences > Accessibility > Keyboard and check Sticky Keys.

Sep 27, 2016 11:57 AM in response to dialabrainby dialabrain,Just to add, I assume you know but you can just right/control click on a link and chose open in new tab from the drop down menu without using a key.
oops, if you use control of course you need to use a key (laughing at myself)

I don't use any wireless nor wired keyboard with my MacBook Pro. Like I said in previous post, command+c to copy, v to paste, command+a to select all .. etc, works fine. Just like you said, command+q to quit running app works fine (I do not know why you would use shift+right click to quit the app tho). Only thing that doesn't work is command + click a link to open in a new tab.

Yes, it is on. Try tapping a command (not keep pressing the command key just tap a key once) and click any hyperlink and let me now if the link you clicked opens in a new tab.

Yes, I know. That method is useful when you use mouse. I usually do not use mouse when I use MacBook Pro.
