Customizing Epiphany Spell Check and Tabs


So the more I use GNOME the more I fall in love with it. Including the default GNOME web browser, epiphany. Its clean and fast and that's the most important thing to me.

There are at least two things I'd like to customize that I can't seem to figure out.

The first is I'd like to see if there is a way to make epiphany spell check text boxes automatically, preferably like the default in many modern applications that it does as you type and underlines things that are misspelled, but I'd deal with some sort of "right click to spell check" or something like that.

Secondly, I'd like to tell Epiphany that when a hyper links directs to OPEN IN NEW WINDOW that it opens in new tab instead.

Thanks in advance.

I can't find anything to indicate that Epiphany has a spellchecker or any reference in Epiphany-->Edit-->Preferences to opening new pages.

Here's a link to the Epiphany extensions page:

http://projects.gnome.org/epiphany/extensions

Sorry I couldn't help more.

I am a confirmed Opera user; Opera has both those features.
