Can links in the new rich content editor be changed to open the link in a new window or in the parent window? In the older version you can hit Cntl k when the link is selected to change this.
By goofing, it seems that external links are by default set to a new window and course links are set to the parent window. I'm more curious how this is set up and I can't find it. The more you know.
Thanks a heap,

Hi @jryter1 Thank You for this question. I'm a big fan of Ctrl-K. So I had to find out too.
This new Rich Content Editor guide says that:
When clicked, external hyperlinks automatically open in a new browser tab.
But all is not lost as it also says:
Alternatively, you can create external hyperlinks using keyboard shortcuts. After adding content in the New Rich Content Editor, select the text for your hyperlink.
Then press Cmd+K (Mac keyboard) or Ctrl+K (PC Keyboard).
Yippee!
