Automatically activate a new tab in Chrome. When you middle click on a link in Google Chrome, or right click on a link and then select 'Open In New Tab', the link will be opened in background. If you want to view the newly created tab, you will have to activate it manually. To automatically open a new tab in foreground in Slimjet. How do I set the default on 'open in a new tab' to automatically switch to that tab? 5 Recommended Answers 44 Replies 190 Upvotes.

UPDATE 2:See. 2019-11-05You can also now have it auto-open Developer Tools in Pop-ups if they were open where you opened them from. For example, if you do not have Dev Tools open and you get a popup, it won't open with Dev Tools.
But if you Have Dev Tools Open and then you click something, the popup will have Dev-Tools Automatically opened.UPDATE:Time has changed, you can now use -auto-open-devtools-for-tabs as in – Wouter Huysentruit May 18 at 11:08OP:I played around with the startup string for Chrome on execute, but couldn't get it to persist to new tabs.I also thought about a defined PATH method that you could invoke from prompt. This is possible with the SendKeys command, but again, only on a new instance.
And DevTools doesn't persist to new tabs.Browsing the Google Product Forums, there doesn't seem to be a built-in way to do this in Chrome. You'll have to use a keystroke solution or F12 as mentioned above.I recommended it as a feature. I know I'm not the first either. To clarify: this opens Chrome with the auto-open-devtools-for-tabs flag set. Quitting Chrome and reopening it using the normal application shortcut will open Chrome without the flag set.
If you want a shortcut to opening Chrome with this flag set without having to open a terminal window, you can create a workflow in Automator, add a 'Run Shell Script' item, and paste in the above script. Saving the workflow as an application will create a clickable app. See this answer in another thread:–Jan 6 '19 at 19:21.
Current situation:I am currently browsing a page (say, www.google.com). I want to open a bookmarked page (say, www.bing.com), but I want to keep the current page (Google) opened. I need to click on new tab, then click on the bookmark for Bing. Alternatively, I can right click and open Bing in new tab.But I want none of those because why click twice when one is enough?What I want:I am currently on Google. I want to open Bing, so I click on the bookmark and Bing opens in a new tab. Google remains open.I am aware of a duplicate question linked. However it didn't really provide a satisfactory answer.

Changing every link to javascript breaks the icon and is a pain to do; middle clicking doesn't really work because I'm on a laptop and the touchpad does not support middle clicking.I hope there is an extension for Chrome that can redefine this behavior to the way I want. A hidden setting in Chrome would be even better but I doubt Chrome offers that. I don't really follow on the bookmark thing you're talking about, but if you're looking for the similar function of clicking the middle wheel, then Ctrl+left click on a link. This will open the link in a new tab while keeping the page you're on active.There are many keyboard shortcuts for Chrome and it's worth taking a look at their support site under keyboard and mouse shortcuts for a full list.Another one you might like is ctrl+shift+left click which will open the link in a new tab and jump you to it.
It's simply a matter of personal preference. I want the default action of clicking on a bookmark to be 'open in new tab' instead of 'open in current tab'. All of the methods you mentioned would work, but they either require more than one click or both hands to perform, and I see that as an inconvenience. Analogously, in Windows you can change the default action of double clicking a folder to be 'open in new window'. I wish for a similar functionality for Chrome tabs, either by modifying some settings in stock Chrome, or by installing extensions.–Oct 5 '17 at 23:46. I know this question is old, but I hope it's ok if I revive the thread. Whether it's on my laptop/desktop, I keep finding myself clicking on my bookmarks and losing everything in my existing tab.
No more.I have created a chrome extension that changes all existing bookmarks and also newly created ones to open on a left click. It's already saved me quite a few headaches.I understand that the favicons are now default, but I have not found a fix for this yet.
Autodesk revit architecture 2014 xforce keygen. Chrome makes that part a little difficult.I hope this extension helps anyone and everyone.
