.net & .org address completion in Opera

,

.com address completion was introduced in Opera 9 by using Ctrl+Enter keyboard shortcut.

You can complete .net by using Shift+Enter and .org by using Ctrl+Shift+Enter keyboard shortcuts by adding two more keyboard shortcuts.

Create new keyboard shortcuts in Advanced > Address Dropdown Widget with the following.

enter shift = Autocomplete server name, "http://www", "net"
enter ctrl shift = Autocomplete server name, "http://www", "org"

You know what's really irritating? When Opera offers autocomplete suggestions, I'm used to just hitting tab to pick the first one and then pressing enter to go there. That's the way it works in Firefox; in Opera, hitting tab takes me to the search box. Any known workarounds for that?

I want to hit tab too... like every other browser in the world that realizes tab is located conveniently, whereas up and down arrows are not something that can be accessed in 60 wpm.

In my opinion this makes opera unusable.

I was able to go to Preferences->Shortcuts->Edit->Advanced->Address Dropdown Widgets.

Here there is "Down" -> "Next Item", so when I add "Tab -> "Next Item", they of course do different things. Down does what I want, and tab selects the Most recent item from the list after de-alphabetizing (ignoring my input).

Bravo Opera!!!

Change "Tab -> Next item" to "Tab -> Next line" and it works.

Hey Tamil, is it possible to make an Opera drop-down list button that could change the top-level domain?

Eg: "www.ebay.com" could be changed via a button to ".co.uk", ".com.au", etc.

Thanks for the excellent tips, been advocating Opera's customizability to friends.

AFAIK, not possible.
