I also love BTT, but opening/closing tabs is much faster using ⌘-T and ⌘-W.

I meant opening a link, not a blank tab. And closing any tab, not necessarily the focused tab.

I should have specified, but I assumed I implied it as this is what the existing browser middle click support achieves.

Also using cmd+L to enter the address bar and then ALT + Return to open the selected address in a new tab

I think command+t and command+w are usually my go to methods. I don't have to move my hands from my keyboard.

Command clicking a link will also open it in a new tab.

I just realised I've been using this with BTT for months now, it's so natural to me that I just assumed that it was built in. Just checked and saw that it's the only touchpad addition I have in BTT.

It's SO convenient.

I have two similar mappings, four finger tap is a middle click (or cmd+click) and four finger click is cmd+shift+click.

That way if I want to open a link in a new tab I can choose between opening it behind the current tab or in front.
