Previously, I mentioned about a neat Firefox trick that allows you to duplicate the tab on the fly by just dragging it to a new space. Anyway here what I failed to figure out, and thought would be cool to have:
- Support Mac’s Firefox
- Keyboard shortcut instead of mouse dragging
Thanks for readers tip-in, there’s work around for both now.
Firefox in Windows
[Mouse] – Hold Control, drag tab to new space.
[Keyboard shortcut] – Click URL (highlight), Alt + Enter
Firefox in Mac
[Mouse] – Hold Command, drag tab to new space.
[Keyboard shortcut] – Click URL (highlight), Option + Enter
Thanks Wendy, Jeniffer

Can’t get this to work. I’m using Mac OS X Tiger and FF3. When i hold Command and the tab. It just moves the tab, some blue indikator appears. And actually does the same if i hold Command or not.
The keyboard tip work great though :)

great tricks, never think of that.

Though the duplicate tabbing works fine with the keyboard shortcut (Alt +Enter) but the tab history is not duplicated. Its only the current url that gets duplicated.
ReplyWhereas using the mouse dragging duplicates the history of the tab as well.

Hi,
I read you article/request for “Keyboard shortcut instead of mouse dragging”. Here’s what I’ve found after my first try:
Hold ‘Ctrl’+'Shift’ and then press ‘t’. This will duplicate a tab with it’s URL. BUT :-( It always opens the URL of the first tab.
Enjoy…

Uh. Biiiiig mistake: Actually it’s the last-closed-tab that is opened with that short-cut. Sorry ;-)
