Keyboard Shortcuts
Just about every program on your computer has keyboard shortcuts that can be used with it. Keyboard shortcuts are key combinations that you can press on your keyboard that have the same effect as selecting a given menu entry or clicking somewhere with your mouse.
What makes the Opera web browser so different from most programs is that it has an enormous number of these keyboard shortcuts. There is some keyboard key combination that will permit you to perform just about any function with your browser including many which in other browsers can only be accessed using menus or via the mouse.
There are too many keyboard shortcuts in Opera for me to list them all here but there is no need for me to do so in any case since Opera even has a keyboard shortcut to display the list of keyboard shortcuts. Just hold down the ctrl key and press B and the complete list (divided up into categories) will be displayed. There are so many shortcuts that just about every combination of keys on your keyboard will do something.
Oh, and if you forget the keyboard shortcut that displays the list of keyboard shortcuts, you can access it by selecting Keyboard in the Help menu.
