Hmm.. i can't seem to follow this under opera linux 9.01... maybe its in general... can u update this please..
Also, is there any way you could extend this to searches done on the toolbar through g 'opera' or the google search bar?

Thanks in advance!

"Go to URL" in a background page jumps to another tab, than the current one, I think it has something do with "cycle in tab order"?

Enable Open new tab next to active in CTRL+F12 ⇒ Advanced ⇒ Tabs

I had this in my menu and I removed it after I find out that "Go to URL" works just fine if you hold the Shift key down.

Hmm, this looks like it overwrites the clipboard. What about some javascript instead?

You can also uncheck Reuse current tab in Preferences > Advanced > Tabs to always open a new tab for searches, context menu items, bookmarks etc..

I can't change the shortcut in Opera to open in background tab. I'm using a laptop, Ctrl and left click would be much easier but can't find the preference! Help someone!

Tamil 18. March 2009, 22:38

You can't change it.
