Version: 0.4.0 (using KDE 4.4.2) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Webpages are allowed to specify that a link should open in a new tab (or new window). Some websites abuse that so that many of the links open in new tabs — particularly for other sites — while others simply use it inappropriately. I'd like to be able to override that so that when you click on a link, regardless of what the site's telling you, it opens in the same tab. It should be taken as 'advice' rather than an 'order', so if I want to, I can still use the middle mouse button (or whatever other method) to open the link in a new tab (or window).
Do you thing the feature request in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=303911 , while following a different approach, provides you with what you need?
The only problem with the linked bug is you need to know beforehand that a link will open in a new tab. Other than that, it's a perfectly good solution.
I believe Konqueror (KHTML) displays a different cursor depending on the target, so you know beforehand where the linked document is going to be opened. Maybe Rekonq needs something like that.

Git commit 495d83777e2eaa7c7d604009cc99a446e2964f90 by Andrea Diamantini. Committed on 14/08/2012 at 16:59. Pushed by adjam into branch 'IconLink'. Guess if url is on target blank and eventually show a describing icon We show "window-new" or blank target links and "mail-message-new" on mailto ones. The same as Konqueror does :) Also, based on the hovering guess, shown different contextual menus Related: bug 303911 M +2 -0 src/CMakeLists.txt M +135 -12 src/webview.cpp M +7 -1 src/webview.h http://commits.kde.org/rekonq/495d83777e2eaa7c7d604009cc99a446e2964f90

Git commit c7fa562d5e2bf312700b1f02863535887f80ba48 by Andrea Diamantini. Committed on 11/03/2013 at 18:59. Pushed by adjam into branch 'master'. Guess if url is on target blank and show different contextual actions I would not re-enable the "describing" icon part because it is NOT really working here. I'm having troubles when I show the icon and switch pages. Hope this is enough Related: bug 303911 M +69 -9 src/webtab/webview.cpp M +4 -0 src/webtab/webview.h http://commits.kde.org/rekonq/c7fa562d5e2bf312700b1f02863535887f80ba48
