How do you open a new tab on a Mac with the keyboard?

You can also open link in new tab by using the Mac keyboard shortcut: Hold down the COMMAND key and then click on the link you wish to open. The shortcut is the same for both Safari and Chrome. This shortcut will automatically open the link in a new tab adjacent to your current tab.

How do you set up keyboard shortcuts on a Mac?

Customize keyboard shortcuts On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Keyboard , then click Shortcuts. In the list on the left, select a category, such as Mission Control or Spotlight. In the list on the right, select the checkbox next to the shortcut that you want to change.


Go to Preferences -> Keyboard. At the bottom, turn on "All controls" under "Full Keyboard Access".

The alternate option will be highlighted with a blue ring. Hitting space will activate this. If there are multiple options, hitting tab will alternate between them.


For English/Mac OSX 10.10:

Go to Keyboard in System Preferences, and then select 'All controls'. Space will select the alternate option if two options. If more than two options then tab will alternate between them.

PS: I would much rather the option of using arrow keys and enter. Interested to know if anyone knows how to hack this?

After reading Tricon's answer, I got the way!!!

Just see the following shortcuts.

Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard & keyboard input (I don't know the correct English menu, I'm using Korean "탭이 초점을 이동하는 방식 변경 (^F7) )

Once you do ^F7 (In case of mac book, Control + fn + F7) on a popup window, you can travel over buttons on any popup windw!!!

Thank you Tricon for giving me clue :)


In Catalina in Keyboard -> Shortcuts press Use keyboard navigation to mve focus between controls. Then you can use Tab to highlight another button and use Space to actually press it.
