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.

On Linux I'd rather reccomend Kdiff or Ediff - but WinMerge on Windows is excellent. :smile:
