Why can't links in safari just open in tabs like firefox? I have tried every setting. Is this how it's supposed to be?
how do you get links to open in tabs w/o holding apple key?

No. I have that on and it works great. I just want to be able to click a link on a webpage and have it open in a new tab instead of a new window. In firefox, it works fine. With safari (3.0.4), it makes me hold down the apple key to open webpage links in a new tab. Can't I just click a webpage link and have it open in a new tab without holding down another key?

Besides the Apple (Command) key and clicking, there is also Right click and hit open in new tab and Control Click (Which is the same as Right Click. Otherwise STOCK there is no way.
There is an plug in for Safari called SAFT though that will allow you to do exactly what you are after. If you have Leopard 10.5 be SURE to get the new version of SAFT.

It's $12 if you like it but it makes Safari do a lot.

And what a plugin it is! If you accidentally close a tab, you just hit Command + Z and the tab reopens in the same state as it was before it was closed: and that works no matter how many tabs you have inadvertently closed. Pretty nifty, I could not do without Saft anymore.
Sometimes it feels like Safari is a Saft plugin, not the other way around!

The same thing goes for Firefox, but you have to hit command-shift-T. Just thought I'd let everyone know...

I'm having trouble installing it. I put it in the spot where it told me to, but I can't see to get it to work...
