Description kabud 2011-08-22 13:46:26 UTC

Version:           1.6.1 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

I got used to ctrl+click = newtab from using firefox and i think it may also be common in other gui programs?!

Right now I'm using a macbook with only one mousebutton, so it seems im effectively blocked out of navigating tabs with the mouse. i agree that the bug is actually that my mouse has only one button, but still i would be greatful for a workaround in dolphin.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Ctrl+Click a folder in the Location Bar

Actual Results:  
the current tab is navigated to that folder

Expected Results:  
a new tab opens for that folder

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.38-8-generic-phc
Compiler: cc

This would have to be done in the KUrlNavigator class in kdelibs. Note that it emits its "tabRequested(KUrl)" signal, rather than "urlChanged(KUrl)", when middle-clicking a "breadcrumb button", and this is respected by Dolphin. KUrlNavigator could/should do the same when a button is Control-clicked.

I've just tested and this seems to work now.
