Use "Find in page" for entering a hyperlink
Hello,I'm curious if there is a way to enter a link if I have it highlighted with Find in page future. If no, I think it would be useful for example if u know the page and where you are going or if you are searching list of topics and so on. It could have shortcut for example Ctrl+Enter when you are in Find in page.
Sorry for my english, regards Shima.
There already is a shortcut — Shift Enter, or Ctrl Shift Enter to open the link in the background. If its not an active link, but a text URL, then you can use right-click, Go to web address.

Yeah, you were right, after few tries, I've found out it works with ".", but it doesn't with Ctrl+F. Then you have to cycle trough results with F3 or Shift+F3 backwards. Seems to me quite impractical.
Enabling this future within Ctrl+F, then cycling trough results with Enter and Shift+Enter, as it is, and then open link with Ctrl+Enter or Ctrl+Shift+Enter for opening in new window seems to me more handy. You can even change searching word more easily.
Or if there is another way, please let me know.

I don't see what's impractical about using "." instead of Ctrl F — you only need to use Ctrl F for a case-sensitive or whole word search. If you know the text is in a link then you can use "," instead.

There is "match case" and "match whole word only" on find-inline bar that appears at bottom after I hit dot or comma.

How else would you like to cycle through matching words? If you press Ctrl+F you have to hit Enter instead of F3. Is it a big deal?
It isn't, it was just a suggestion. On notebook keyboard its "harder" to find than enter and shift+F3 its even more "harder" to press for me personally. Thats only detail. Main reason for making this topic was that I didn't know about this feature (entering hyperlinks if u use "." for searching).
F3 and Shift+F3 are just standard shortcuts used in most text applications.
In Opera, however, you can change them in preferences. So for you it could be F3 (search forward) and F4 (search backward) or F3 and F2 respectively. Of course first you need to delete/change F2 or F4 shortcuts (they are already used for another function).
