Suggestion: Enable Ctrl+Click for open-link-in-background-window

I like a lot of the features of Opera, but one of the main reasons I can't change is habit!

Being a long-time user of Firefox, and more recently IE7, I am used to opening a link in a new tab by holding the Ctrl key and clicking with the left mouse.
In Opera, I can perform the same function with Ctrl-Shift-Click, but I can't get used to that change (and I don't really think I should have to).

I've tried playing around with the shortcut preferences (see <a href="http://tough-to-find.blogspot.com/2007/09/heres-something-that-people-may-find.html">here</a>), but to no avail.

It would be fantastic if this could be optionally-enabled. I would then be far more likely to switch to Opera as my main browser.

Hy. I find a userjs. open-in-background-with-ctrl.js

If you using Opera 9.5 you must set Ctrl+F12->Advanced->Content->Javascript options->Allow lowering of windows.

Penge is absolutely right. Then after doing what he says, go to Ctrl+F12->Advanced->Content->Javascript options-> and look at the 'User Javascript folder' and open it. then copy the text on that link Penge gave and paste it into a text file and save it in the 'User Javascript Folder'. Be sure to then rename the filename and extension of the text file to user.js

Can someone upload this user.js on some other location, because the provided one isn't working anymore.
