Mouse Gestures are an excellent way to execute commands in the browser with little mouse movements. For example, when researching something on a web page that references many other pages, you can open these links easily in new background tabs without losing your spot on the page you’re currently on.

To open a link in a new tab using a Mouse Gesture:

1. Hover the mouse cursor over the link you want to open.
2. Hold down the right mouse button.
3. Drag the mouse down and up again to open it in a new background tab or drag the mouse just down to open the link in a new foreground tab.
4. Release the mouse button.

Explore more gestures in Settings > Mouse > Gesture Mapping.
