I use bookmark with nickname "my" and Shift+F2 for that purpose, and I think it's easier.

Using the c,o,n,f,i,g shortcut and loving it.

Is there a way to also focus the opera:config search box when the page is launched, too?

Tamil Thursday, November 8, 2012 10:19:09 AM

Use the following action. 
New page & Go to page, "opera:config" & Delay, 500 & Focus next widget & Focus next widget

Inspired by this concept I made an article about it with additional handy shortcuts (including easily opening a page in Chrome). Includes screenshots. up
