Tabbed browsing
Tabbed browsing lets you open more than one web page in a single window. Each web page displays in its own tab. You can see a list of the pages open in a window in the row of tabs along the top of the browser area. Simply click the appropriate tab to view that page.

Camino 1 Web Browser Tabs

Open a new blank tab
New tab toolbar iconSetting Up Camino 1 documentation.

Close a tab
Close tab toolbar icon Choose File >> Close Tab, use the keyboard shortcut CommandW, or add the Close Tab button to your toolbar using the instructions in the question above.

NOTE: NOTE: When a window has multiple tabs open, CommandW closes the tab, rather than the window. To close a window with multiple tabs in it, use CommandShiftW. There is also a close button on each tab.

In addition, there are various items in the tab context menu (Ctrl-click or right-click on a tab) for making and closing tabs.

Open a link in a new tab
Hold down the Ctrl key and click on the link (If you have a two-button mouse, you can right-click the link). From the context menu, choose Open Link in New Tab.

If you customize your tabbed browsing preferences (see below), you can make Command-clicking a link open it in a new tab.

Customize tabbed browsing
There are several ways to customize tabbed browsing. Open the Preferences window (from the Camino 1 application menu) and click on the Tabs icon.

You can set up several preferences including the following:

  • Always show the tab bar (keeps the tab bar in view even when only one tab is open)
  • Whether Command - clicking loads a link in a new window or tab
  • Whether new tabs and windows should load in the background or come to the front
  • How Camino 1 should handle links from other applications

Warn me before closing a window full of tabs
Camino 1 can warn you when you try to close a window that contains multiple tabs. To enable this feature, open the Preferences window (from the Camino 1 application menu) and click on the "General" icon. Check the box next to Closing windows or quitting with multiple pages open, and Camino 1 will display a warning sheet the next time you try to close a window that contains multiple tabs.

Move between tabs
Moving between tabs is as easy as clicking on the tab you wish to view. If your tab bar is full, you can click the overflow icon on the right to see a list of the rest of your tabs and then choose whichever one you want.

Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcuts to switch between tabs.

  • To move to the next tab, press CommandOptionapple right arrow
  • To move back to the previous tab, press CommandOptionapple left arrow
Drag and drop things in tabs
Of course! You can drag to and from the tabs themselves, and between tabs and bookmarks, and the location bar.
  • To load a link on a page in another existing tab, drag the link to the tab.
  • To load a link in a new tab, drag the link onto the empty space on the tab bar to the right of the tabs or (if your tab bar is full) onto the overflow menu.
  • To drag the URL for the page that’s loaded in a tab to a second tab, into bookmarks, or the Finder, click and drag the little icon next to the tab title.
  • To load a bookmark in a tab, drag the bookmark (from the Bookmarks Manager or from the Bookmark Bar) and drop it onto the tab.
  • You can also drag the URL for the current page by clicking on the little icon next to the location bar. You can drag this onto a tab, into the bookmarks, or to the Finder.
A tab group
A tab group is a collection of web pages that you want to open together in a set of tabs. Instead of opening up each page in a new tab, one-by-one, a tab group gives you one-click loading of all the pages. The Mac News Tabs item on Camino 1’s Bookmark Bar is an example of a tab group.

There are several ways to create a new tab group:

  • To save your current set of tabs as a tab group, load the pages you want to include in your tab group in a set of tabs. Then choose Bookmarks >> Add Page to Bookmarks… (or use the keyboard shortcut CommandD) and before clicking the “OK” button, check the box next to Bookmark all tabs to create a tab group. (See our Documentation for more information about creating, renaming, and moving bookmarks.)
  • To convert an existing folder of bookmarks to a tab group, open the Bookmarks Manager by choosing Bookmarks >> Show All Bookmarks or using the keyboard shortcut CommandB. Select the folder you want to transform into a tab group, Ctrl-click and choose Get Info from the context menu (or select the folder and use the keyboard shortcut CommandI). Then check the box labeled Tab group; your folder is instantly converted into a tab group. (If you later wish to reverse this action, simply un-check the same box.)

Now when you select the tab group from the Bookmarks menu or click the tab group on the Bookmark Bar, all of your tabs will load at once in your current window. The default behaviour is to replace any and all tabs currently in the window with the tabs from the tab group; if you want to append (add as new tabs) the tab group to your existing set of tabs, hold down the Command key when selecting or clicking on your tab group.
