If you were using The Browser, Opera, here's how you could open those pictures effortlessly in new tabs:
1) Right-click on top of a picture, keep the button down.
2) Flick your mouse slightly downwards.
3) Release the right mouse button.
And there you go. Now, after checking out a picture, you'd want to close the newly opened tab, and get back to where you were:
1) Right-click, and hold
2) Move the mouse slightly downwards, and slightly to the right.
3) Release the mouse button
And there you go again. It doesn't take long to get comfortable with Opera's Mouse Gestures, and you'll realize they're very handy.
- kragen 18y agoThe issue isn't with the absence of mouse gestures; it's with the absence of link targets.
- shiranaihito 18y agoSuspecting that might be the case, I tried opening some pictures before posting, and it all worked for me.
- kragen 18y agoSince that's the case, the Opera feature to mention is something about successfully opening JavaScript links in new windows, not mouse gestures; talking about the mouse gestures just confused me.
- shiranaihito 18y agoOnly if the Firefox middle-click thing was only about opening JavaScript links too, I guess. In any case, mouse gestures are a good thing and make your browsing more efficient.
- kragen 18y agoOh, I think the complaint was that normally middle-click opens things in a new tab (which it does, and has since Mosaic 1.0, except that before we had tabs they were windows) but that doesn't work with Picasa or whatever, because they're JavaScript links.
