Love Opera.

Love that “Middle Click” on a tab in the tab bar closes the tab. In addition to the “close tab” mouse gesture.

Change the keyboard-shortcut for “ctrl+w” from “Close page” to “Close page & Switch to next page”. This way, when using “ctrl+w” Opera will close the active tab and switch to the next on the right of this tab.

And for all of you with to many tabs: simply change the “Wrapping”-mode of the “Page bar” to “Wrap to multiple lines”. This helps much if you have to Page bar on top (or bottom). It costs some vertical space (if you have enough open pages for more than one line of tabs), but every tab remains readable, width isn’t changed any longer.

As you may guess I have no need for a proxy server.

- As Śmieszne reklamy telewizyjne(if that’s the name :P) said, the middle button seems to me to be the best option to close tabs. I add, it’s the best option to open links in background pages.

- This is somewhat more advanced. I think it’s bad to have to comply with the default number of results for each search engine, but it’s also bad to have the same number for all. So, instead of having the number of search results defined by Opera, you can define them for each site (if they have that option), simply by editing the search.ini file or, even better, using a program like Opsed. Example: to search on google you use “http://www.google.com/search?q=%s” (%s is then replaced by the search term). To have 50 results in each page, simply switch that line to “http://www.google.com/search?q=%s&num=50”.

Hope it helps …

(Sometimes when you dont have 3button mouse, you can simulate middleclicking by doing left and righ click at the same time, simple: press left and right mouse button together. Warning: It’s sytem depends.)

Moreover, wanna close a tab? Again, use middleclick on it. Tada! :-) No more aiming [x] icon on each tab :-) — leif, you will be glad using this: you just have to hold mouse in one, the same position and middleclicking all the time in the same place.

The middleclick on tab-toolbar area also opens new, blank tab.

Remember, if you have “reuse existing page” disabled you won’t be able to use PageRank button or GmailThis button.

They are both javascript scripts showing new popup-window based on current window content :(

(Once you check the boxes, you have to assign sound files to the various sounds. If you are using Windows, check something like c:\windows\media…. I don’t have a Windows machine around right now. Check for .wav files…. I don’t know if Opera can use MP3 files or not — TjL)
