Leopard Tricks Tips and Tools

Some sites have popup’s that open a new browser window when browsing their site. Annoying, and you can block it. But what about web apps or sites that have legit pop up windows? You can open these windows in tabs instead!

To set this up, open Terminal and type in the following:

defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true

Hit enter and quit Safari. When restarting Safari, your windows will open in tabs instead!

To revert back, in Termina, type:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool false

Quit Safari and restart…

Find a page you want to send (in Safari) and hit Command+I . This will open Mail with the ready to send. Dunno if it’s a windows friendly attachment but in Mail you can see the site even without opening your browser!

Ps: it probably sends a .webarchive file.

When you place a bookmark in the bookmark toolbar in Safari, you can then access that bookmark using a numbered keyboard shortcut. So, reading the bookmarks from left to right, my first bookmark is YouTube and I can access it with Command (⌘)+1. I then have a few bookmark folders and the next bookmark is my online banking statement. I can check my balance any time by opening Safari and pushing Command (⌘)+2. …and so on.

This is especially useful for search bookmarks.
