@TheShadow4Vivaldi said in New Tab Focus:
The image shows Firefox's option settings for tabs. Vivaldi does not open a new tab and switch to it immediately.
By default, Firefox does it backwards, i.e. always opens links in a new background tab. If you enable that option in your screenshot, it focuses the new tab, i.e. opens a new foreground tab.
Vivaldi does opens a new foreground tab by default, so one uses Ctrl+click or Middle-click (or a mouse gesture) to open a new background tab.
- Left-click does what the website tells it to do, i.e. opens the link in the current tab, or opens it in a new tab
- Right-click offers all three options: foreground, background, or current tab (Open Link).

I'm sorry but you are totally wrong.
Please read my post again, and spare us the Caps Lock:

This is true.
To open a start page shortcut in a new tab, use Shift+Click — the default is to reuse the start page tab.
If I left click a link in a Gmail tab, it opens in a new foreground tab.

@TheShadow4Vivaldi Since you and Pesala have said the same thing - that by default Firefox does not switch to tabs - there is no reason to repeat yourself or to SHOUT.

I do not use caps lock.
Then immediately follow that with:
It DOES NOT bring focus to that tab!
What more can I say? I think you are the one who needs to read the posts again.

I can hold down the Ctrl key and press one of the links on the Start page. Vivaldi DOES open a new tab next to the Start page tab. It DOES NOT switch to it immediately! I have to click on the new tab to bring focus.
As others have said before:
shift-click
notctrl-click
to open a link in new foreground tab. -

@TheShadow4Vivaldi I don't know what you're talking about. Just try shift click out, referencing some obscure article that lists shortcuts for browsers that aren't Vivaldi won't help you.

@TheShadow4Vivaldi You can choose to ignore every advice you get here, no one minds.
But the facts are clear:
ctrl-click
opens link in new background tabshift-click
opens link in new tab and gives focus
Now you might not like this, but it's our current situation. If you wanna do something about it, write a feature request and ask for a setting to switch the behaviour of
ctrl
andshift
when opening new tabs from a link. -

Shift-click does NOT open a link in a new tab and give focus. I have tried it in Vivaldi several times. Why doesn't anyone understand this?
because it is what Vivaldi does for everyone else, just for you seems it's not working or maybe you are expecting something different.
