When you press the v keyboard shortcut in Google Reader, it opens a new tab. Regardless of the setting "When a new tab or window is opened, make it active" setting (Under Preferences > Tabs), it becomes the frontmost tab when opened.

Is there a way to have all tabs open in the background, like when you Cmd+click?

(I'm aware of other alternative solutions, such as Firefox which handles this correctly, or a desktop RSS such as NetNewsWire/Vienna which have an "open links in background" option, but I like Google Reader's interface and wish to continue using it)

I just wrote an extension that does this for Safari 5: http://bitbucket.org/zakj/greader-bgtabs/downloads

Edit: Most recent version is on GitHub: Google Reader Background Tabs

Try running the following command on the Terminal :

defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true

And see after if it works.
