Thanks, but I think this is confusing, both because the links behaves differently and because it differs from what other GUI:s (web browsers) do. I believe the documentation GUI should be as intuitive as possible if we want to attract new users. I did not follow the discussion previously all the way. I however got the impression that the points above where important. BTW is mouse-2 the middle button? As previously many have pointed out there are no such button on very many pc:s.
