Description Todd 2010-08-24 05:14:38 UTC

Version:           0.5.80 (using KDE 4.5.0) 
OS:                Linux

When you select an area of text on the page that contains more than one link, it would be very useful if you were given a right-click option to open those links in new tabs.  This is a very useful feature in firefox.  An option to open them in a single new window would also be nice, although not important since it is easy enough to detach the tab first.

Reproducible: Didn't try

I cannot seem to find this feature in Firefox… Can you tell me if it is an extension?
Anyway, today I tried adding this feature, but since I’m no dev, I didn’t succeed (yet).
My idea is to split the selected text into different URLs into a QStringList (with QString::split). I still have to find a reliable regular expression for this though :-)

I thought it was available by default, but it seems to was actually tab Mix Plus that provides the feature.

IMHO an edge-case, nice to have, but rather contrib stuff.
We should rather get rekonq ready for extensions.

Comment 4 drpjkurian 2016-05-01 02:49:08 UTC

When I right click the url links in website for opening it in new tab, rekonq open those links in new window. I confirmed that the tab settings of rekonq are correct.

My details are as follows
OS: Lubuntu 16.04
Kernel: 4.4.0-21 Generic
Rekonq version: 2.4.2
Compiler: i6886-linux-gnu-gcc

Development on Rekonq ceased four years ago, and it has been unmaintained since then. KDE recommends using Falkon instead.
