Hi,
Yes, you can use the mouse to open a new window,
and Phoenix supports tabbed browsing as well.
I use this script to launch a new browser with
shortcut keys. I have 6 viewports (similar to
virtual desktops) in my standard Sawfish
configuration. I keep my browser in the lower
right hand viewport. When I'm in a different
viewport, and want to fire Phoenix, with this
script and a key shortcut bound to it, I can
pop a new browser window with <control>-<alt>-p.
IMO, one of the best features of Linux is the
ability to do most things without having to
remove your hands from the keyboard. If you're
a touch typist and don't have RSI, it can
dramatically increase productivity.
