Merlin: shortcuts and buttons for all settings
Thursday, 20. October 2005, 17:53:50
In Merlin, you can use opera:config to directly change all available settings. But it is still a chore if you want to do this regularly, for example to toggle User JavaScript on and off. So Merlin also introduces an action for shortcuts and buttons, that makes a direct change in your settings. This means you don't have to wait for Opera's developers to add specific actions.
Moose gives a nice example of this new feature in Opera 9 (Merlin):
This can be used in custom keyboard shortcuts, mouse gestures, voice commands, buttons, and in custom menu setups.
Note: this is a new action that has not been thoroughly tested yet (apart from the one example here
). So your feedback is welcome

Set preference, "User Prefs|User JavaScript=1" | Set preference, "User Prefs|User JavaScript=0"
- Action name: Set Preference
- First parameter: "Section|Prefs parameter" (as they appear in opera6.ini)
- Second parameter: not used
This can be used in custom keyboard shortcuts, mouse gestures, voice commands, buttons, and in custom menu setups.

Execute program
Set preference

Where I can get list of all commands, supported by Opera? I use own source viewer, but want add button for use internal source viewer sometimes. Is it possible?

Set preference, "User Prefs|Source Viewer=Opera" | Set preference, "User Prefs|Source Viewer=notepad"
... does what you want: toggling between 'opera' and 'notepad' as source viewer.

Ctrl+f6 used to have the same effect that Ctrl+Alt+Shift+N (open copy of active in back), followed by Ctrl+F4 (close active) has today; It moved the active page (or tab) from the front to the back. Great way to get the transfers page, that news article I want to get back to, ifilm.com, and photographytips.com out of my way while I look something up for my boss or my nieces. Everything is still there; and if something unimportant finds or forces its way to the front, I can send it to the back and forget about it until later.
The Windows equivalent is Alt+Esc, which moves the active Windows application behind all of the other running Windows applications.
I love Ctrl+Tab, Ctrl+Shift+Tab, but there's no indication of an Edit Keyboard setup 'phrase' to Send active page to the back. If I could even reduce the page to the back it would help, but reducing the page now only moves it back one position so I still have to Ctrl+Tab past it to reach other windows.
Just an ongoing frustration. I still love opera, and most of my friends never have 47 tabs open like I do right now, so I'll keep working on converting them.
And I'm most impressed to get such a quick reply on a weekend.
Thanks for the best browser yet;
looking forward to playing with o90p1;
