If you're lucky enough to have a new Macintosh, it might have come with a remote control.
And if you are curious, or keen on some of the accessibility features in Opera, or just can't go past the preferences of a new program without looking into it, you might have come across the feature released as an easter egg in one of the preview releases of Opera 9.
Or if you look into the keyboard shortcuts, you might find some odd ones for Mac, like RC_PLAY as a key.
Yes, you can use your remote control for browsing (or anything you can do in Opera, although text entry requires a fair bit more customisation).
If you leave alone the menu button, to move out of Opera, you can apparently click or longclick each of the four directions on the remote, and the play button in the middle, which effectively gives 10 free buttons.
What are the 10 most important functions? Could you survive with a 10-button keyboard? What would it be epecially good for?
