Work more efficiently with Tabs while using Safari 3.1

Picture: The Mac Observer

Rather than keeping an infinite number of windows open while browsing, many people simply choose to open up a new tab to avoid the clutter. Safari 3.1 includes multiple and very intuitive ways to use this valuable feature more effectively. Instead of using the Command-T keyboard short cut to create a new tab, you can simply double click on the tab bar. Safari then produces the new tab and makes its your active browser window automatically.

There is also another handy trick for those tab aficionados who would like every link to open in a new tab, rather that in a new window. Simply open the Terminal from the Applications/Utilities folder and enter the following:

defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs

-bool true

Now every link will open in a new tab. To reverse the code simply enter the following in the terminal:

defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs

-bool false

These are just some examples of the many useful features inherent in Safari 3.1 on Windows, and we will no doubt be reporting on many more to come.
