My setup for 9.2

Wednesday, 18. April 2007, 22:49:23

, , , ,

You are all wondering what setup I use myself of course. Not so easy to answer, because I use several installations of Opera at different machines!

  • Hugin on the latest Merlin installation for POP (work mail) and IMAP (private mail) and newsgroups and newsfeeds on machine A
  • My own custom setup in a Merlin installation for browsing and webwork on machine A
  • My own custom setup in a Peregrine installation for browsing, webwork and IRC on machine A
  • More Mail in a Merlin installation for IMAP (work mail) and browsing on machine B
  • Twelve in a Peregrine installation for browsing, webwork, newsgroups, newsfeeds and IRC on machine B
  • And of course usually several versions or Merlin and Peregrine installed at both machines, all kept as default as possible
Machine A is a decent desktop machine with plenty of diskspace, and is the machine I make my backups from. Machine B is a laptop I use for working in whatever room at home I fancy. Total Commander and WLAN make it easy to access my work documents on both. Using both POP and IMAP for accessing the same work mail server isn't perfect, but it works for me.

My custom setup
.. is just one of the setups I use then :smile:
The menu and toolbar isn't all that spectacular, not anymore. Just some developer and convenience additions to the menu, a few changes here and there, and extra buttons to the Status bar and the View bar. There's Twelve if I really want different.

The mouse gestures have these two special items:
GestureLeft=Open in background page | Stop | Back | Delete mail | Close page | View Hotlist, 0
GestureRight=Open link in new page | FastForward | Forward | Reload | Mark mail as read | View Hotlist, 7 | Reopen page
The keyboard shortcuts contain all the extra's for More Mail, plus some additions and removals to the other sections. After stripping out the shortcuts that didn't change, this is left of the file: delta-rijk_keyboard_900.txt Note: it is not a complete setup file after this stripping.

I would really like to see a feature where I can press a keyboard shortcut and the address bar flips and now shows the personal bar. Pressing the keyboard shortcut again would flip back to the address bar.

When the personal bar is shown I would also like to press the arrow keys and be able to move threw my boomarks. As I keep pressing the right arrow key the bookmarks on the left drop off the screen and vice vera.

3dOptics: no problem creating a toggle button, create a button with this action:

Set alignment, "document toolbar", 0 & Set alignment, "Personalbar", 6 > Set alignment, "Personalbar", 0 & Set alignment, "document toolbar", 6

You can create a button with this action on the Button Maker webpage:

Easy keyboard navigation inside the Personal bar is not possible, I'm afraid.

How would I be able to toggle the personal bar with a keyboard shortcut?

Well, add one. Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Shortcuts

Action for personal bar toggle:
Set alignment, "Personalbar", 6 > Set alignment, "Personalbar", 0

  • Web Apps Need More UI, Not Less

    I haven’t used Chrome yet, though I know people who work on it, and it looks like a good browser with some good new ideas. But I’m unsure of the benefits of one of its main talking points: that what web applications really need is to have less browser “chrome” around them. As I put it in an ...

    Safari isn't a bad browser, but on the PC it's not a great one, either. Whether it's arrogance, laziness or a combination of the two, the interface that works so well on the Mac looks completely out of place (the word we'd use is "minging") on XP or Vista, and while the browser itself does the essen ...

  • Intelligence in the Cloud

    There's a general misconception as to what, exactly, the "cloud" really is. I think most people imagine it as just a large cluster of computers, hooked up together as a large database or map/reduce storage system sitting behind a load balancer so that it can respond to requests as scalably as possi ...
