Ctrl-click should open in background tab like on FF and IE. Obviously users are going to be coming from those browsers and used to this behaviour. Why have shift-click and ctrl-click do exactly the same thing, and have to press both buttons for the most logical/best behaviour? I tried to reassign the keys in the menu described above but it was too complicated for me.

I have to use the keyboard shortcut for two reasons, (which amount to the same - I use a MacBookPro, OSX occasionally with the wireless mouse). The middle button is set for showing all windows. Or, I use the trackpad, which doesn't have a middle button. I use Opera and the fact that tabs always open in front of the page you are viewing is really annoying.
