      Hello everybody,

      I searched around a bit but could not find anything about my question.

      I have Opera 39.0.2256.48 and I want to change the middle click behavior for Opera in the taskbar. My previous searches suggest that I can do so in Opera's Preferences window, but I can not find it in my version of Opera.

      The current taskbar-middle-click behavior is to open a new tab, but I would like it to open a new window.

      Can you help me?

      Thanks,
      Mark

        You can't change it AFAIK. Those instructions is probably for old Opera Presto (Opera 12 and older).

          I wanted to achieve the same behaviour and I believe I found a way to do it. Opera (at least 39.0.2256.48) support command line switches so here you will want to utilise the --new-window switch by editing Opera shortcut.

          • Find the location of Opera shortcut you usually use. If you start Opera from a pinned shortcut to taskbar then the shortcut will be in %appdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar. However, if you start Opera from start menu then the shortcut should be in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
          • Edit the properties of the shortcut and add --new-window to the end of Target field so it reads (on x64 system): "C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\launcher.exe" --new-window .
          • Click OK and relaunch Opera
          • Done

          alt text

          Enjoy !
