Lightbulb Tips for Opera Browser Users

some great tips for Opera !!

first some keyboard shortcuts:

» press Shift + I to toggle image display !!
» press Shift + G to toggle display modes
» press / or . (period) to activate webpage inline word find
» press F8 to focus the address bar field (also Ctrl + L)
» press h or F2 to pull down the address bar menu
» press + or - to zoom in or out the webpage
» press Z to go back or press Alt + Z to show backward history
» press X to go forward or press Alt + X to show forward history
» press Ctrl + H to hide Opera in the system tray
» press Ctrl + T to open a new tab
» press Ctrl + W to close the current tab
» press Ctrl + Z to open the last closed tab
» press Ctrl + B to paste a link into address bar and GO
» press Ctrl + 7 to open the Notes panel
» press Ctrl + E to compose a email

ofcourse there are many more such life-saving combos but i listed only 15

__________________________________________________ _______________


now for some tricks with the mouse:

» Press Shift while clicking to open a link or bookmark in a new tab.
» Press Shift + Ctrl while clicking on a link and the new tab will open in the background instead of popping up on top of your current tab.

» Double-click a word to select then word.
» Triple-click to select the full sentence.
» Click four times to select the entire paragraph.

» Pressing Ctrl on your keyboard while rolling the wheel on your mouse activates zooming.

» To go to previous page ::
press & hold right button, click left button OR
hold right button, move mouse left (mouse gestures).

» To go to next page ::
press & hold left button, click right button OR
hold right button, move mouse right (mouse gestures).

» Right-click any tab to select from a plethora of options.

» Select Duplicate from the tab context-menu to create a duplicate tab of any website.
» Select Lock Tab from the tab context-menu to lock the tab and prevent accidental closure of the webpage.
» Select Detach from the tab context-menu to detach the tab to open the webpage in another window.

__________________________________________________ _______________


Create Custom Search for websites in Opera

Now You can create search for Your Favourite Websites...
and search easily by just typing your query in OPERA

Example: Creating Search for <Orkut>
» Notice the search option in Orkut at the top right of the browser screen.
» Right-click the search box.
» Select the Create Search.. option
» In the dialog box that popups, fill in details like Name (anything), keyword (enter any characters like o for orkut)

I have created Search Engines for many websites like Wikipedia, del.icio.us, Yahoo, Orkut, Digg, etc.

Thats it! you are done..
You have successfully created a search engine for your favourite website..
and integrated it into Opera! Cheers!

Custom Buttons to Drag'n'Drop into your Opera

Opera allows you to easily drag-n-drop custom buttons from a web page straight onto your toolbars!

Buttons can be simple browser functions or options easy to use or advanced features or even additional external functionality for automated actions.

Buttons like "Tag this on del.icio.us" or "Post to Digit" or "Blog this" can be very easily made..
How to add a button - Simply drag a link (Button) to your toolbar and try it out (hint:drag upwards). A requestor will pop up asking whether to install the button (displaying the command the button performs to confirm 'what-it-says-is-what-it-does').

How to remove a button - If you don't like a button, you can simply right-click on it and "remove from toolbar".

Where to place buttons - The Personal bar and Menu bar do not allow buttons to be added to them, but Status bar, Main bar, Navigation bar, Address bar, the ends of the Page bar, most Panel toolbars and the Mail View bars are all fine.

Where to get these buttons -
http://operawiki.info/CustomButtons
http://operawiki.info/PowerButtons
http://www.aimwell.org/Help/Buttons/buttons.html
http://homepage.hispeed.ch/ttt-opera...owser-adv.html
http://people.opera.com/rijk/opera/dndbuttons.html

__________________________________________________ _______________

Kill Elements Button
KILL Elements - REMOVE ADS, IMAGES, FLASH, FRAMES, BLOCKS, TABLES, ETC.

The kill button is utterly invaluable. It basically can kill elements on a page. The selected element will be highlighted with a pink square, if so this means left-clicking it will remove that element from a page. Press escape or Click kill button again to exit the kill mode.

This button is useful for things like:
» Removing those annoying DHTML images that float around a page.
» Any element that distorts the page, such as overflowing ad-blocks or long entries in tables.
» Removing elements you don't want shown on a printed page.
» You may even remove flash or iframes; you have to select a parent that is holding it, hover the mouse close to the edge of the flash animation and see if you can see its parent highlighted.
Feeling a sense of omnipotence (a-la Pacman)...

BUTTONS : Kill Using the Mark as Spam icon / Kill Using the Smiley Pacman icon.
Note: You must drag the button up from the page to the toolbar, not click it and add it or it won't work. You will see icon if done right.

Visit this website page: http://operawiki.info/PowerButtons#kill
__________________________________________________ _______________

Remove Google Ads (also in Orkut Communities) using Opera

» Right Click & select Block Content
» Click Details button in the yellow toolbar for Content Blocker
» Now click Add... button in dialog box
» Add this sites:
Code:
http://*orkut.com/AdsIframe.aspx*
http://*adwords*
http://*pagead2*
http://*adbrite*
