Sometimes when clicking a link, I want to force it to open in a new browser
window. I know how to force a link to open in a new tab (ctrl+click or
ctrl+shift+click), but is there an equivelant key combo that will force the
link to open in a new browser window? Thanks.

Left Click on the mouse roll bar opens in a new browser screen.

Same as it has always been: press Shift- when clicking.

Thanks! That is exactly what I needed to know, it's nice being able to have
someone give a straightforward, simple answer. You gave me exactly what I
wanted to know, so please don't take this next statement as a complaint, it
is just a question of curiosity, but why is the Shift+Click keyboard
shortcut not on the page you gave me the link to? Thanks again for helping
me find the answer to my question!

Because that shortcut's been around since IE4 or so?

That's quite possible, but haven't some of the others also, such as Tab to
move through items and F5 to refresh the page? Those are still listed.
