Obsolete:Future:NewTabs

Scratch pad

Camino's current implementation is OK but I'd say it's to complicated for "normal" users. I much prefer the approach safari has. You either enable it or disable it. And with that you get further options. But on default users won't be surpised by it.

New Camino prefs

The current prefs are ok, but they need to be clearer. And should be setyp so that the important and most used are at the top.

• Force links that open new windows to:
  • Open links in a new tab
  • Reuse the frontmost window or tab

• Links from other applications:
  • Open in a new window
  • Open in a new tab in the frontmost window
  • Reuse the frontmost window or tab

• Command click on links:
  • Opens in a new window
  • Opens in a new tab

• New windows and tabs:
  • Open in background

• Tab bar:
  • Always show tab bar

• command-click opens link in a new tab/window, depending on pref
• command-shit-click opens a link in a new or back tab, depending of pref

Also we need to start using the help buttons to link to our support docs.

I think it is a very good idea to list our key combinations in this panel, tabbed browsing is a feature we should make as easy as possible. So providing the key combos directly where they can enable it is the best of all places to show them.
