force safari links to open in new tab via terminal

I don’t use Safari as much as I do Firefox for many little frustrating reasons. One of the reasons is how Safari by default opens links in a new window instead of a new tab and this drives many new Safari users nuts.  This feature should automatically be implemented just like in Firefox.  I found a small Terminal hack that takes care of that.

Launch terminal and type in the following command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true

Restart Safari and all of your clicked links will open in a new tab. If you want to go back, just replace “true” with “false.”
