safari shortcut?

Question

safari shortcut?

Whats up and Happy weekend. I often use this simple keyboard shortcut while using Safari, (holding)⌘ and clicking link to open in a new tab. Quite often, I need that link opened in a separate window. My first machine was an appleII after 37 years on mac... is such a shortcut available or I am going to have to say "what a dumb ***! How in the **** did I miss that"? If there is no such shortcut, could I be the only one that needs it! Tonight I finally broke down and did some "keyboard shortcut" searches on google to see if I somehow missed it. My google is broken and I can't get my search!!:!! Just kidding, my google is great, I can not find the shortcut!!:!! if available, could you please give me that shortcut. If there is no such shortcut.... MAKE ONE FOR ME ;-)

Thanks Sean

Press the Command and Option keys when clicking on it. If that doesn't work, open Safari's preferences and choose Tabs.

Like I said.... dumb-***! I was about to go to prefrences and open pages in windows instead of tabs and use the hold⌘ and click link when I need a tab open. I new there was a shortcut! Where did you find that shortcut at? I have not found it posted anywhere. If its in the manual, I never read it!!:!!

Thanks a lot,

hey Niel

if your out there, where did you find that shortcut key at?

here is apples link http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42951 for Safari Browser Window and Menu Shortcuts. Do you see the errors and missing shortcut command also, or have I been eating to many lead chips?

I do not see the shortcut you provided anywhere on that page!

Thanks for the quick response to my question
