Description Moritz Moeller-Herrmann 2001-10-08 07:02:01 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           konqueror
Version:           2.2.1 (using KDE 2.9.0 CVS/CVSup/Snapshot)
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Not Specified
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

I think an excellent feature for konqueror would be to catch the middle mouse button clicks on the toolbars of konqueror.

E.g. I want to open a new window with a bookmarked page. Just MMB click the link in the personal bookmark toolbar and a new konqueror window opens just like if I click on a link in a web page. This functionality would also be useful for the forward backward and up arrows in the toolbar.

I don't know how hard it would be to implement this but I think it would be neat. Improve usability for KDE-3.0!!!

This is really a shame, as it works in galeon and mozilla.

It's only a shame that you didn't attach a patch for it.

OK I am ashamed. Would still be cool, IMHO.

Also, a middle mouse button click on the "house icon" should have the expected result -- open either a new window or tab (depending on which you have configured) with the Home URL selected for that profile.

wow, I use this on firefox.  I can even open the bookmarks of a whole subdirectory of my bookmarks in their own separate tabs.

I wasn't missing it in konqueror, because I don't use it... 
and this would help me want to use it.

CVS commit by faure: 

Patch by Daniel Teske <teske squorn.de> to add support for opening bookmarks
(from menu or bookmarkbar) with the middle mouse button, to open them in a new tab.
This new patch uses the new KAction::activated(reason,state) signal.
With thanks to Stefan Nikolaus for his patches and input as well.

Wow! Is it now possible to make the forward and back toolbar buttons open the 
history element in a new window (i. e. behave like clicking on a link within 
the page)?

PS.: You see, one feature implemented draws a *multitude* of succeeding 
feature requests ;-)

Yes, simply connect to the new KAction signal :)
But the above isn't in the feature plan :)

Comment 9 jos poortvliet 2004-12-27 20:12:10 UTC
does it work on bookmark folders, too??? (It should, shouldn't it?)
Comment 10 jos poortvliet 2004-12-27 20:14:52 UTC
and does it work for ctrl-click? http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91883
and for drag'n'drop of bookmarks (like it does for links)? http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91810

tnx for any answers... if it works, I'll close the wishes...

It doesn't, and I think that is reasonable. 
With some users a wrong click can mean that a ton of bookmarks get openend.

If you want to open a bookmark folder, you ought to use two clicks. (Right and than left on in new tabs.)
