File Compare, Keyboard Shortcut, Mouse Gesture, Update
...
Updating customized keyboard/menu/mouse setup files manually is cumbersome and time consuming. You can use file comparision software (
Windows: Freeware
WinMerge or shareware
Beyond Compare,
Linux: Meld) to visualize difference and update custom setups easily.
The default keyboard, menu & mouse setup files are
standard_keyboard.ini,
standard_menu.ini &
standard_mouse.ini respectively. These files will be inside
defaults folder in Opera installation directory.
Your custom files will be inside
keyboard,
menu &
mouse folders in your
profile.
Load your setup file and corresponding default file in file comparision software, compare them and update your setup file.
