Opera, Google, shortcuts, UserJS
...
On its search pages, Google™ captures all plain key strokes to stuff 'em into the search input box. This breaks the single key commands feature of Opera, if you – like I do – enabled this legacy feature in the advanced settings section and like to use it. But there is help available: a UserJS that ”unbreaks“ this Opera feature on Google pages.
There are plenty of single key commands available; let me mention ”1“ and ”2“ which select the previous or next tab, respectively, or another number key ”6“, which sets zoom back to 100%; another useful command is the ”i“ to toggle through the image loading/showing strategies; not to forget ”z“ (or ”y“ if redefined for some keyboard layouts) ans ”x“ as quick back and forward commands.

Opera, OpKit, Chrome, Opium
...
Trying to cope with the seemingly inevitable, I re-wrote my
choppr opera extension for
Flickr™ in terms of a
Chrome(ium) extension.
Choppr is an extension that adds a short
flic.kr-url to the right hand column on a Flickr™ photo page.
This short url is calculated from the photo's unique id (actually, the calculation is ”bijective“, thus could be inverted) – there is no web service contacted during that process.
You find the short url behind a little ☆-icon below the photo's license statement and above its privacy information in the right hand info column.
The Chrome version of the extension comes with the added value of showing an icon in the address field, if you are surfing a Flickr™ picture page; a click on that icons copies the shortened
flic.kr-url to your clipboard.

Opera, convenience, buttons, preferences
...
I don't use buttons extensions so gratuitously install so frequently. So I like to hide them most of the time, leaving more screen real estate to the address line. That's achieved with this fine button:

Opera, UserJS, script, desktop
...
Once you've installed this UserScript Javascript file, you'll get the bugs-fixed list on the
Desktop Team's blog presented as an <ol> instead of a bulleted <ul> list. A neat line summarizing it all comes for free.

tools, search.ini, script, Opera
...
If you, like me, have a soft spot for tweaking
search.ini using a plain text editor to customize that file to suite your personal needs in terms of searching, then you certainly came across the time consuming and unpleasant necessity to re-assign consecutive numbers to the search engines'
.ini sections.
If you have the *nixish stream editor
sed at hand (it is also available as pre-compiled windows binaries), then you can use the attached sed-script to automate the process of giving numbers to search engines.

Opera, widgets, next, localstorage
...
This script was solely interesting together with builds Opera Next v12.00 1317 and 1325, not earlier or later builds!
If you install Opera 12.00 Next builds 1317 and 1325 over earlier 12.00 Next builds, due to bug DSK-358417 you lose any localStorage data as well as all individual Widgets setting (widgets.storage).
This happens, because formerly mentioned builds expect this data in the ”local“ part of an Opera profile, not in the ”roaming“ (as it is called in Windows Vista). You can fix this by moving the old data to the new location.
