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

Tuesday, June 5, 2007 3:32:48 PM

, , , ...

Updating customized keyboard setup/menu setup/mouse setup/language/dialog 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 setup, menu setup, mouse setup, dialog files are standard_keyboard.ini, standard_menu.ini, standard_mouse.ini & dialog.ini respectively inside ui folder (defaults for versions below 10) 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 files.
