Help popup menus: KB+codes

Sunday, August 10, 2008 10:20:26 PM

Here's a menu you can add to your menu bar with keyboard information, and charts of escape codes, Opera variables and HTML entities.

Putting this in the menu tree gives you very quick, non-disruptive access to information panels.

help, charts

(last revised 2009-10-28)

One of the basic help resources just never developed in Opera is a keyboard chart. So here's one, an HTML page intended for use as a panel. To install: store on hard drive, bookmark, and check "show in panel" box. To add info: with focus in panel, View menu / view source; edit; click Apply Changes.

You can, of course, check out the chart without installing; nothing changes when you put a webpage in the panel, except width. And after it is installed, you can get rid of it anytime by just deleting the bookmark. Here it is.

macros, help

Buttons you add to menus and toolbars; click to see the code for the menu or toolbar they're on. Useful for examining code, identifying function calls you were wondering about - or copying off the screen to make a button for someone else. If you see something that needs changing, two more taps (sourceview, F3) open sourceview for editing and take you back to the item.
