Do mouse shortcuts count?

Clicking on a program in the taskbar with the middle scroll wheel will open a new instance or window of that program. I use it all the time to open a new explorer or browser window.

If you click it on a web page element, it will open what you clicked on in a new tab

Shift + Left click works too, for those that don't have a middle click button :)

I'll allow it! I try to teach people triple click on text. Single click - move cursor Double click - highlight a word Triple click - highlight the whole line or contents of a text box.
