Safari : open targeted links in new tabs

One of the things I find most annoying when browsing the web is when a link opens a new window. It completely disrupts my workflow when a new window pops up.

For Safari, however, there is no such setting to be found when you look through its preferences window. But the setting does exist, though you have to use Terminal.app to enable it:

• Quit Safari
• Open Terminal.app
• Enter defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true and press enter
• Open Safari
• Notice that links that used to open in a new window will now open in a new tab
