that’s my problem. I don’t want instructions. I already know how to use MS Windows.
I learned between system crashes.
Follow the directions provided for activating the multi-button features on your mouse. Despite looking and feeling like a single button mouse, the Apple mouse that ships with your computer has multiple regions that register like a multiple button mouse. Putting pressure on any one of the regions will act like clicking a corresponding mouse button on a multi-button mouse.
To activate the multi-button mouse, visit the Apple Menu (Upper left hand corner of the screen in the menu bar. Looks like an Apple.). Now select System Preferences from the drop down menu. Find the Preferences for “Keyboard & Mouse.” It should appear in the second row of icons in the System Preferences window. You should be able to figure it out from here.
Once activated and configured to provide “Contextual Menus” when you right-click, right-clicking on a link will provide you with a contextual menu allowing you to do many things with the link, including opening the link in a new window, new tab, or to copy the link to the clipboard. Choose the action that best fits your need.
Another method, and one that I prefer, is to use the Command-click method. Hold down the Command-key on the keyboard and use the mouse to click on the desired link. The Command-key is directly to the left and right of the spacebar and is decorated with a funny looking flower/square and an Apple logo. It is also known as the Apple-key. Hold down this button while clicking on the link.
You can enable “Browser Tabs” in Safari by accessing the Safari menu in the menu bar and opening up the Preferences for Safari. Click on the “Tabs” preferences icon in the horizontal bar in the Safari Preferences window. Now you can configure the behavior of your tabs, and keep your browsing from cluttering up your display space with lots of windows.
