Generally yes. It is intentional. It like in the web browser, when when you type new url in the address field it opens it in the same tab.
Otherwise, you will always get new tab open.
There are several other ways to open browser windows in HE:
- use menu Help->Syntax Help to add a shortcut for opening help urls. Actually you can open any url there.
- or from already open bowser window, click on some link keeping Ctrl pressed.
But I am agree that this is not very intuitive. I will add new command for opening new+empty browser window.
Do not know when. Or 1.49 (there is not much to do) or in 1.50.
Best regards,
Alex.
