TypeAheadFind wish!

Post by aarem »

So, I would like the following to work:

TypeAheadFind finds the next link. Once there, I want to be able to use the features of the right-click button of the mouse which gives me an option to open the link in a new window, tab, et al. Of course, without running like a cat for the mouse?

Can this be done easily? Anyone know this?

Best wishes!

CTRL+Enter works like a charm here.

If you don't like Shift+F10, you can use the "Application" key (provided you're using a Windows keyboard). It's they key to the right of the rightside WIN key.

That should probably matter I'm afraid. That key does nothing on Linux.

I don't see it working here either

I can get Shft-F10 to work but not the application key. I'm using Mozilla but that should be irrelevant.
