   When I'm writing a new post and click the button to add a link to my text, it always defaults to 'Open in same window'. I'd like to change this to default to opening in a new window, so it's really just a matter of reversing these two options.

   I ended up going to wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/advanced/link.htm and finding the following lines:

   <option value="_blank">{$lang_insert_link_target_blank}</option>

   AND

   <option value="_self">{$lang_insert_link_target_same}</option>

   and I switched the 'blank' and 'same' sections of each line, essentially switching the order in which they appear.

   Simple and it worked.

   aar0on:
   thats cool
   i wanted to know that too

   do you know how to give the new window attributes, like window size, position, etc

   and even better, how to set a default window attributes?

   Actually, scratch what I just said in that last post. Here's the PROPER way to do it:

   Open wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/advanced/link.htm and finding the following lines:

   <option value="_self">{$lang_insert_link_target_same}</option>

   AND

   <option value="_blank">{$lang_insert_link_target_blank}</option>

   ***All you have to do is switch them in their order, so they should look like this:

   <option value="_blank">{$lang_insert_link_target_blank}</option>

   <option value="_self">{$lang_insert_link_target_same}</option>

   That's it!

   Another thing I did was go to wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/advanced/jscripts/link.js and opened it in Notepad. Find line:

   href.value = tinyMCE.getWindowArg('href') || 'http://';

   and change it to:

   href.value = tinyMCE.getWindowArg('href') || '';

   Now you won't have to highlight the http:// before you paste a link.

   Another way to make "Open Link in a NEW Window" the default is to edit the line:

   from:
   <option value="_blank">

   to:
   <option value="_blank" selected="selected">

   So "_blank" now becomes the SELECTED default for the drop down list. Same as what aar0on said, only without changing the order of the options.
