What happened to the Safari status bar?

Before Lion Safari used to have a nice little piece of functionality in the Status Bar. Before I ask, let me explain what *didn't* change. Still functioning in the status bar is notification that the link you're hovering over wil open up in a new tab (or window based on your settings). See the image here

What *is not* happening anymore is this notification when you would like to open a link in a new tab (that otherwise would not) by holding down the command key. For example, you are on yahoo.com hovering over a link to an article. If you leave your mouse pointer over that link and then hold the command key down, the "in a new tab" note at the end of the URL in the status bar doesn't show up. This also worked for holding down the option key (download) and holding shift+command (in a new tab behind the current one).

I hope I am explaining this correctly, let me know if not.
