If you want to open a link in a new tab while keeping the current tab open on the same page, you can use one of the following methods in most web browsers:
Method 1: Keyboard Shortcuts
1. Click and Hold (Command + Click):
- Hold down the "Command" key on your keyboard.
- Click the link with your mouse or trackpad.
- The link will open in a new tab, and the current tab will remain on the current page.
2. Middle-Click (if you have a middle mouse button):
- If you have a middle mouse button or a mouse wheel, you can click the link with the middle button.
- Alternatively, you can press the wheel down if it acts as a button.
- This action typically opens the link in a new tab.
Method 2: Browser Options
1. Right-Click and Choose "Open Link in New Tab":
- Right-click on the link you want to open.
- Choose the option that says "Open Link in New Tab" or a similar option, depending on your browser.
2. Browser Settings:
- Check your browser settings/preferences for tab behavior.
- In some browsers, you can configure the behavior of links (e.g., always open in a new tab) in the settings.
Method 3: Tab Bar Options
1. Drag the Link to the Tab Bar:
- Click and drag the link to the tab bar.
- Drop it next to the current tab. This should open the link in a new tab while keeping the current tab open.
Method 4: Use the Browser's New Tab Option
1. Cmd + T (Open New Tab):
- Press "Command + T" to open a new tab.
- Paste or type the link into the address bar of the new tab.
These methods should work in popular browsers like Safari, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox. Keep in mind that the specifics might vary slightly depending on the browser version and settings.
