Why not just hold shift when you click "compose"?

Using shift-click to open in a new window is a fairly standard behaviour in most browsers these days isn't it? Then again I guess it wasn't intuitive in this case.

Edit: I should note that the above is actually a genuine question.

Shift-click to open in a new window is a pattern for links. Gmail's 'Compose' doesn't look like a link, it looks like a button.

Shift-clicking the 'search' button doesn't work on Google.com.

It does in pre-webkit Opera. One of the things I really miss in other browsers.

Also just shift-c if you have the keyboard shortcuts enabled.

this is close to the old functionality, but not the exact same.
