Mike Pinkerton is one of my heroes, and a developer for Camino (among other things). Two days ago he made committed two changes for Camino which I tried out today.

The first is Single Window Mode. Basically this means that if a link is meant to open in a new window it opens in a new tab instead. Much like Firefox. However it doesn't quite work like Firefox in that javascript links open in new tabs, too, which causes havoc at the office. That option will have to be turned off - for now. When I find some time I'll come up with some sample code to show the behavior I'm discussing and file a proper ticket. I'm not sure whether it'll be a bug report or feature request. Depends on what was intended. Either way, how disappointed can I possibly be? This is, after all, a nightly build.

The second change is Cmd 1..9, as Mike calls it. This feature emulates Safari's behavior when pressing Command and 1 through 9; it opens the corresponding bookmark bar item. Here's where it deviates - in Safari this does not open bookmark groups, but in Camino my Cmd-1 item is a menu and when I press Cmd-1 I find myself opening the group in tabs and clearing out the session I'm working with. I find that immensely frustrating, though it's an especially big problem for me since I'm a Firefox convert instead of a Safari convert, but the behavior still differs from Safari and is dangerous. I'll be report this one as a bug if it's not already.
