How can I opn the same window twice.

For that sort of thing I use the Duplicate Tab Button extension from the Safari extensions gallery:

https://extensions.apple.com/

Once you've installed it, go into your Safari preferences. In the extensions section, select it. You'll see the option there given to open the duplicate tab in the foreground, background, or in a new window entirely. Pick the setting that works best for you.

Another way is with AppleScript, though the extension looks like the way to go.

on run

tell application "Safari"

makenewdocumentwith properties {URL:URL of document 1 as text}

end tell

end run

Using Automator you can make a Service that "receives no input in Safari"

Paste the script into the Run Applescript action (found in Utilities)

Save it with a descriptive name such as Duplicate Webpage in New Window

Assign it a keyboard shortcut

Simplest way is to open two Safari windows and connect both to the same URL.

I'm not quite getting what it is you are suggesting because doing everything twice doesn't seem to be the simplest way. Nor does duplicating by going through the usual steps: copy URL, open new browser window, paste URL, press return. The Duplicate Tab extension and the Applescript would each require a single step, not four.

Fine, it was only a suggestion!

Obviously every second is precious to you! 🙂

Here's a suggestion I found in a thread on another forum I visit. It's dead simple. permalink That thread contains a few other ways of doing this including an Automator workflow.

That's a neat idea. Works in Safari for Windows too. (Just tried it out.) 🙂 Many thanks!

Do you know how to duplicate a tab, but not open it in a new window?

Many thx!

Total Mac newbie here...

Answered my own question:

on run

tell application "Safari"

makenew tabwith properties {URL:URL of document 1 as text}

end tell

end run

Ooops - actually, this DOESN'T work

Place your cursor in the address bar & press Enter while holding the Command (Apple) key;

or use the extension suggested above, if still shown in Apple's gallery; or try

Tabkeys

Oh, wow - thx so much!

Now, why isn't that shortcut listed anywhere normal people can find it?

thx!

:-)

Cmd-l, Cmd-Enter

Cmd-l (this is the letter L in lowercase, not the number one) - highlights the location bar

Cmd-Enter opens the highligted url in a background tab

It works with me! thank you so much.

Just what I was looking for. Cheers.

CMD + ENTER
