Activating a Link

Links are normally displayed as blue or underlined text. Because Amaya is both a browser and an editor, you get different results when you single-click, double-click, or right-click a link.

• Single-click a link to move the cursor to that position in the document. The status bar displays the expanded URI of the link.

• Double-click a link to activate the link and go to its target. The document retrieved by this operation replaces the current document in the same window and in the same mode (editor or browser) as the original document. If the original document was modified and has not yet been saved, a "Lose all modifications" prompt displays.

• Right-click a link to activate the link and open the target document in a new window. The original document remains open in the first window.

  Note:
  This behavior can be changed through the Browsing Preferences dialog under the Edit>Preferences menu. By changing the Double click activates link option, you can browse documents with a single click as you would in a traditional Web browser. However, you will not be able to edit a link by clicking within it.
  Other browsing preferences like the loading of images and the application of CSS can be controled in the Browsing Preferences menu.
