Open a page in a new tab, window, or Split

Enter opens what you pick in the tab you’re on. Holding a key with Enter opens it somewhere else instead.

You’re writing in Fastmail and want to look something up without leaving the message.

Steps

1. Press ⌘L (Ctrl+L on Windows and Linux).
2. Type an address or a search, or move to a row with the arrow keys.
3. Press the keys for where you want it:
   • Enter opens it in this tab.
   • Shift+Enter opens it in a new tab.
   • ⌘⇧Enter (Ctrl+Shift+Enter) opens it in a new window.
   • ⌥Enter (Alt+Enter) opens it next to this tab, in a Split.

Details

• The line under the list shows which of these keys work on the selected row.
• On an open tab, every key but ⌥Enter switches to that tab. ⌥Enter puts the tab next to this one in a Split.
• On a pin, a page from another site opens in a new tab, because a pin keeps showing its own site.
• Pins and Favorites have no Split choice.
• In a Split, Enter loads the page in the pane you’re using.
• The home page’s search field takes the same keys.
