Update Opera custom keyboard/menu/mouse setup files using WinMerge

Tuesday, 5. June 2007, 15:32:48

, , , ...

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.
