      How come I can only open one tab at a time in Opera? Can't find any way to change the settings for Tabs.

        @doncogs What do you mean? What happens when you try to open another tab?

          @leocg When I open a new tab (Shift + Speed Dial item) , Opera closes the current tab. Previously, I could use Shift + Speed Dial entry and have as many tabs open as I wanted. Now, I can have only one tab open at a time.
          I've found the Add Tab feature workaround, but using it is a tedious pain in the neck.
          Thanks for your help.

            Here, shift + left-click on speed dial opens that page in a new window. Ctrl + left-click opens the page in a new background tab. Ctrl + shift + tab opens the page in a new foreground tab. None of those reuse the existing tab.

              Shift-Left click does not work on my computer. Shift-Left click opens the new Tab, and automatically closes the current Tab.

              CTRL-Left click does work! Thank You.

                @doncog said in One Tab at a Time?:

                Shift-Left click opens the new Tab, and automatically closes the current Tab.

                Strange. Does that happen in a test standalone installation too?

                Does your shift key register correct at https://www.keyboardtester.com/tester.html?
