Title: Right-click to open diagram link in a new tab
Post by: miksko on September 16, 2025, 10:49:21 pm

Hi,

I would like to be able to right-click a diagram link and make Sparx open the diagram in a new tab, like I'm able to do in a web browser.
Quite often I need to switch between diagrams, in order to find elements I want to put in the first one.

If you want that behavior by default you can turn off "concise navigation"

Thanks for the information Geert! I did't know about that option.

I've tried it now and have only one objection: With that setting off, navigating to a new diagram always results in that diagram being opened in a new tab. I would have preferred it to be an optional behavior, since it leads to a number of unwanted intermediate tabs, but I presume that isn't possible.

Hello Mikael,

If you create the Navigation Cells, you can select to open at the same tab or at a new tab by right-clicking the Navigation Cell | Open.

HTH,

Hi Takeshi,

Not in Sparx EA 16.1, at least. That is the combination I started to try, since that is what you would have done in a web browser.
