Re: [lug-l] Workspace switching with Linux Mint

Sorry for the spam but I've also just realized I may have interpreted that wrong. Do you want links opening in the same browser window and to only disable switching to that workspace when the browser gains focus? If that's the case, it'll be dependent on which desktop environment you chose with Mint.

This is probably an option in your browser rather than the desktop environment. For example, in Firefox, to make links from otherh programs open in a new window instead of the existing one, go to about:config (in the navbar) and use the search filter to find browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external, and set it to 2.

I recently switched to the most recent version of Linux Mint. Whenever I click a link to open a webpage, the workspace automatically switches to the workspace containing webpages. I would like to disable this automatic switching. Could you please tell me how? I can't find anything that looks relevant, either on online forums or in the Systems Settings.

Thanks very much.
