    Hi, new post. May I ask you a question? Do you know how to open the link in a new window using the hint mode?
    Thanks a lot.

      Type ;w. You will see hints by numbers. Type a number for a hint. The hint will be opened in a new window. Try ;t for new tab. You may use capitals such as ;W or ;T, the hint link will be displayed and ready for opening. This is a convenient way to modify a link.
