CMD-Click
also does
Open in Background Tab
I've experimented with a lot of things in the Shortcuts > Browser
Window section of the Advanced Preferences but have not (yet)
been successful. Could someone post what I need to specify in
these fields:
Input context and shortcuts Actions
Thank you!

I don't think this is possible.

Indeed, that's not possible. Opera users with a third mouse button will
find that 'middle-click' will also open a link in the background window.

OK, thanks exclipy and Rijk. Is it possible to set up Opera so
that *any* single key, i.e.:
KEY-Click
will 'Open in Background Tab'?
I use a Mac PowerBook with no external mouse and I'm often
holding a cup in one hand and want to be able to open a link in a
background tab with one hand. Is this possible if one does not
have a third mouse button (I only have one mouse button thanks to
Apple).
Thank you,
Nancy
Nope, mouseclick actions can in general not be modified at the moment.
Only exception currently is the middle-click action on link, and mouse
gestures. You could use the existing mouse gesture 'down up' - but I don't
know if mousegestures can be made to work on a Mac PowerBook.

One hand? That's quite hard in any browser, if you only have one mouse
button. You could use Shift+arrow keys to navigate to a link, then use the
context menu button (if Macs have one?), and select the 'open in
background' option.

Yes when I'm one-handed on my laptop, I use spatial navigation and press
Ctrl-Shift-Enter on the link.
Actually it's very easy in SeaMonkey Suite and I do it all the
time. Coffee cup in one hand, CMD-Click with the other hand and
the link opens in a background tab. And I keep reading (with the
help of the spacebar) and drinking my coffee!
This is one of the main reasons I haven't switched to Opera. (*)
Thanks for the tips about mouse gestures, which I'll experiment
with later.

(*) The other reason is Opera's lack of a 'Send page by mail'
command.
> Opera's lack of a 'Send page by mail' command.
"Send *link* by mail" [which Opera has]
-vs.-
"Send *page* by mail" ?
A "page" can now be rather huge, containing so many images,
Javascript, CSS, perhaps various ads and junk as well --
perhaps that's why Opera favors sending *links* instead.
Maybe if Opera had a "Save page as web archive, zip and mail" command,
that would satisfy everyone -- except that a "web archive"
is too new for everyone to be able to handle it upon receipt.
I just saved the Google main page as "Google.mht" and gave a look-see,
however, and it turns out that there are a lot of references to
127.0.0.1 in it -- the result of an ad-blocker, it turns out --
so anyone receiving any saved MHT files from me
would not be nearly as satisfied as they might be
with a one-line "Send *link* by mail" message
(maybe just a little more AI in this function
could help in sending truer URLs
when not reflected properly in the "address bar")
