Q: Command + click to open link to new tab won't work (Sierra)

I'm not sure if I did something to mouse pad setting, command key + mouse left won't work to open link to a new tab. Anyone know how to fix this? Not sure if this is Sierra related problem but it worked before I updated to Sierra.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12)

    If it were the keyboard drivers, then command-click wouldn't work within VMWare  would it?  The keyboard doesn't use any special drivers other than the USB Keyboard driver included in the underlying system.

     

     

    Another way to look at the issue is, if it's because of Sierra why would it work in VMWare?

     

    All I know is as I mentioned a few times in this thread is, I have Sierra installed on three different Macs and command + click works for me. Two are laptops which I wouldn't normally use with an external keyboard. I do have Apple wireless keyboards which even if they do work (I haven't checked), really wouldn't answer your question.

     

    You could try creating a new user and test. You could start in Safe mode and test. I assume you tried what has worked for others in this thread. Sometimes a problem occurs which makes no logical sense is is hard to track down.

    The best work around yould have been sticky keys, unfortunately Sticky Keys doesn't seem to work with my keyboard, works on the laptop keyboard of course, but that's out of reach.

     

    Where I really need the functionality is in my IDE, where I use command-click to navigate code, for browsing it was just a nice feature, but not really important. Guess I'm SoL until apple or ckb comes out with a fix.
