Description Darrell 2010-08-25 14:51:23 CDT

Once upon a time the Konqueror web link context menu provided both the option to open a web link in a foreground tab or a background tab. That option was removed and the context menu now shows only the preferred option selected in the Settings. The history of the the refusal to restore the options can be read at bug 63706 (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63706).

This removal is inconsistent with the design of many other web browsers that provide both options in the context menu.

The option was removed somewhere after KDE 3.1.3.

Historical screen capture is available here (http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/images/context-menu-konq313.png).

Request is to restore both options to the context menu.

Restores the context menu option 'Open in Background Tab'

Patch uploaded to restore the old context menu! Like this:

Open in Background Tab
Open in New Tab

The patch includes removing from the Konqueror Settings, Web Behavior, Advanced Options, the "Open new tabs in the background" option because that option no longer is needed or serves a purpose.

Woo hoo!

Are you sure that it no longer serves a purpose?  It seems to me that it would control the default new tab behaviour...

Comment 6 Darrell 2012-01-11 18:25:36 CST

I tested that option before removing. The check box had no effect. Of course, perhaps somebody else can see what I could not and the option could still be useful. I only can say that I saw no effect with the older menu restoration. I'm not offended if you want somebody else to test further. :)

New patch that keeps configurable behaviour

Try this patch; it should keep the configuration option active.

Comment 8 Darrell 2012-01-12 18:16:27 CST

Does the check box do anything? Under the new menu structure, there is no default opening scheme. The web link context menu popup controls how new tabs are opened, either in the foreground or background.

The check box has no effect on web page links, but does the option make sense when in file management mode? I don't know. Might be a day or two before I can test.
