Submitted by: WHO - junkeymail»mindless (that is a real address)

Notes:

This Macro allows you to load a URL that has been typed in the URLbar in a new layer, preserving the current page in it's current layer. It is not necessary to add the info to both Toolbars.cfg and Accelerators.cfg. This isn't perfect - it doesn't re-instate the URL of the page you originally had(that stays in the original layer). Anyone that can add that please do.

In Macros:

# Macro to load a URL in a new layer

new_layer_load {
 $oldclip = getclipboard()
 id(ID_SELECT_URL?);
 id(ID_EDIT_COPY?);
 $address = getclipboard();
 pluginmsg(layers, "OpenURL", $address);
  setclipboard($oldclip);
}

In Accelerators:

under "%ifplugin macros" add

SHIFT VK_RETURN = macros(new_layer_load)

In Toolbars:

(you may want to add everything between the first and last line into the 'URL Bar buttons' toolbar to keep things tidy)

Go in Layer Toolbar {
 Go in New Layer{
 macros(new_layer_load)
 Open in New Layer (Shift+Enter)
 #you can use any icon
 layers.bmp
 layers.bmp
 layers.bmp
}
}

The above macro will only search for & process valid URL addresses in a new layer. The macro below also recognizes Bookmark Nicknames, Folder Groups, & Quicksearches along with URL addresses.

In Macros:

$loaded = "";

URLInNew?{
$oldclip = getclipboard()
id(ID_SELECT_URL?); id(ID_EDIT_COPY?);
pluginmsg(layers, "OpenURL","about:blank");
$loaded="go";
}
go{
id(ID_SELECT_URL?);id(ID_EDIT_PASTE?);
id(ID_NAV_GO?);$loaded="";
setclipboard($oldclip);
}

In Accelerators:

Any valid keyboard shortcut you desire

ALT N = macros(URLInNew?)
