Appreciate the email, Fritz, thanks.
Frustrating though that there's no way to remap opt/command combos for click navigation. You're stuck with holding down multiple mod keys (option+cmd) for lookups in the assistant editor (which some people do every minute). Is there any way to change/remap that?
Thanks,
Andy

You can ask for one directly, you can use the General panel of the Preferences window to make modified clicks create tabs, or a Show Tab action in a behavior can create a tab if the named tab isn't there. But to get the latter two behaviors, you have to ask for them explicitly.
