Tweak

The commands I use most - in estimated order of frequency - are most probably:

* New page
* Go to nickname
* Open link in background
* Read mail
* Find in page
* Google search
* Check mail
* Preferences
* Stop
* Reply
* Reload
* Reopen page
* View source
* Compose message
* Quick Preferences
* Reload from cache

Back (MG)
Close (MG)
New Page (keyboard)
Go to page (although I always use a nickname there)
middle click (open link in bg)
Top 10 box (never thought I would say that.. but it's true)

Most frequent?

1,2,4,5,z,x,/,u,j,o,ctrl+n,F8,ctrl+right,ctrl+left,PgDn,PgUp

and a couple hundred others

Moose, I think for some reason that your list might not be a typical list

My suspected top 5:

Back (button on toolbar)
New page (button on toolbar)
Google search
Close (button on tab)
Check/Send Mail

back
reload
trash can
rss button
google search

Not sure but perhaps the button that toggles images fits in the list as well.

For me that would probably be:

Open link
Back
New page
Address field (including doing searches with search shortcuts)
Tab in the tab bar
Close tab
Panel toggle
Delete mail
Mail read
Add chat message
Quick search (finding translations)
Navigation link: home
Check mail
Answer mail
Compose mail
Send mail
Mail panel
Chat panel
Fit to window width

Open link in background (middle mouse)
New page (50% ctrl+t + 50% mouse dbl click on tab bar)
Back (MG)
Close page (60% MG + 40% ctrl+f4)
Reload (MG)
f8, g search term
Undo page (ctrl+z)
Find in page (/term)
Forward (MG)

hmmm.... compile a version that logs key actions and mouse gestures and button presses (only what button has been pressed, not what link has been clicked on) and tell users "if you want to help us improve the UI, use this version of opera and send us the logfile after some time".

*shrugs* I have *no* idea whether this is hard to do or not...

My list is probably: click (on a link), F2, Ctrl+N (the old one), Ctrl+F4.

But, yeah, it would be very interesting to have actual statistics on this...

Ctrl-N, Ctrl-W, G, Alt-R (Reload from cache), Alt(Ctrl)-F3, F8, F9, F2, Shift-F2, Tab, Alt-P, Open link in bg, FlipBack, MG (New page, close, back), find inline, F5, MiddleClick on pagetab to close, LeftClick on pagetab to restore|hide
And some of custom buttons — Trashbin, Open in IE, View CSS, Offline|Online, Enable|disable JS, Restore all, Cascade|tile|tile horisontaly, "Save with images to one file with title as filename" ;-), Bookmark Manager, may be some else… ;-)

Agreed with WildEnte — that version will be very intresting…

Considering the Most Used commands for MS Word 2003, any idea when it will be possible to use buttons to paste? Or insert text for that matter? It would be good for the source editor in 9

Here's mine in no particular order:

New page
Goto URL
Scroll down
Open link
Back
Reload
Close page

Does right-click (invoke context menu) count as a command? ;-)

scroll wheel or Arrow Keys
click (on a link)
Shift+click (on a link) or MG
Ctrl+N (new page, not window)
MG or Ctrl+F4 to close a window
Home (scroll to top)
Mouse button "back" or Backspace
1
2
F4 - show/hide panel
. or / - find in page
F5 - reload
Shift + arrow keys + Enter
Ctrl+T (add to bookmarks)
Ctrl+E (compose e-mail)

I think you miss at least two very important ones:

'Open link'
'Back'

I don't think I use 'Back' very often because I prefer 'Open link in background', which is why I didn't mention 'Open link' either. They should probably be in the list anyway, as well as 'Copy' and 'Paste and go'.

Alt-F4 and Ctrl-q

1. Switch pages (using CTRL+up/down)
2. Spatial navigation (SHIFT+arrows)
3. Page/scroll up/down
4. Follow link in background (CTRL+SHIFT+enter)
5. FastForward (CTRL+right)
6. New page (CTRL+N)
7. Follow link (enter)
8. Back (CTRL+left)
9. Go to nickname (CTRL+`)
10. Close page (CTRL+w, often 'held down')
11. New page, focus address bar and Google (CTRL+N, F8, g term)
12. Open/close Mail panel (F4 / CTRL+3)
13. Check mail (CTRL+K)
14. QuickFind (.)

That's about it, I guess, though I cannot be sure

How about the enter key for GO!

Are these some very minor link fixes to do?

Just minor, my attempt to help a little. T-G

My most frequently used "commands":

Middle mouse-button scrolling up & down
Open link in background (click & Ctrl-Shift)
Mouse-gesture back
Selecting Feeds (mouse action)
Personal Bar button selecting (mouse action)
Bookmark Panel link selecting (mouse action)
Selecting page text (with mouse)

I see a pattern with mouse usage here

Without any order:

Ctrl+N for new tab, not window like in Merlin
Click to follow link
Midclick to open in new tab
Midclick on tab to close it
Enter to go to address
Alt+F3 - well, I'm a web developer
Ctrl+N, Tab to go to Google search
RClick+LClick and we are going back

I think that's all.
