Where IS the list of shortcuts? Also, using them on a Blackberry
I'm using Opera Mini 6.1.25376 on a Blackberry 9780 (non touch screen). I can see a list of shortcuts in the help, but I want to print them out for reference. I've tried searching the documentation section of opera.com, but I can't find a recent list. I want one that includes the tab shortcuts.Also (is it ok to ask two questions in one post?), I see that I can configure it for either Opera Mini or Blackberry shortcuts. I quickly got sick of typing alt+*, so I tried the Blackberry shortcut scheme. With that, I gain the ability to scroll to the top or the bottom of a page with T or B, but I lose the 4 scroll keys, and W doesn't give me any control over my tabs like in the Blackberry browser. I can't see much use for this option.
What are other Blackberry users doing?

Below is a link to the thread dedicated to suggestions for Opera Mini on BlackBerry devices. Adding shortcuts for page tab navigation has been mentioned on that thread many times before (last time on Oct 16th), so let's hope that they will be implemented in the next release.

The workaround for printing shortcut documentation would be to take a screenshot of OM help page and then go from there. "CaptureIt" is a great screenshot app for BlackBerry, you would need to assign a Convenience Key to take screenshots of OM pages.
OM shortcut scheme is basically for cell phones with ABC keypad. If you have a BlackBerry with a physical keyboard then BB shortcut scheme looks like much better choice.

So there is no official list of Opera Mini 6 shortcuts? This isn't looking good.
I found this one: http://tech-avail.blogspot.com/2011/05/operamini-6-shortcuts.html. Don't know where they got it, maybe they typed it in from the help.
I had found that thread, but it didn't look useful, too many questions with no answers, so I didn't read it right through. Apologies for starting another one.

Here is a screenshot and JPG file with BB shortcuts. Now you can make a print out w/o installing any new apps:

Additional shortcuts are as follows:
Alt * 1, Alt * 2, etc (keys hit in sequence): opens a speed dial page 1, 2, etc
Highlight URL link - hit 1: a menu pops-up
Hope this helps.

Thanks for that. I'm fairly familiar with the Blackberry Browser shortcuts, so the main thing I learn from your list is which ones don't work.
I wonder why they chose Z for column view. the shortcut for column view (when it existed) was X.
The point I was making was not just a request for a list of the shortcuts, but that no list appears to exist on the Opera web site. Surely such a simple and useful piece of documentation should exist and be easy to find. Is there a place I can request, or even submit such documentation?
Highlight URL link - hit 1: a menu pops-up
All that comes up is the option to open in a new tab. I get the same menu when I click and hold, which saves a button press (alt).
When I hover over that link, I just get "Open in new tab" and "Select text", and the same when I hold down the trackpad button. If I hover just a little to the side, I also get options to open or save the image.
I tried to actually highlight the text, but as soon as I click on the select text option, it jumps to a place lower on the page and won't let me scroll up again till I cancel it.
Good point about avoiding overuse of the trackball button. I use Enter, etc, whenever I can, but not if it means having to hit 2 keys instead of 1.

I have tried to edit my last post but the forum wouldn't let me do it, so I deleted it. There have lately been some problems with editing your own posts.
Here is a screenshot of the menu I have after highlighting a link and hitting 1:

I've just installed v6.5, and the behaviour is the same, except that if I choose the Select Text option, it behaves as expected.
The list of Blackberry shortcuts in Help looks the same to me, but I haven't compared line by line. I notice that E and X scroll up and down respectively. I don't think that was the case in 6.1.

E and X belong to page scroll shortcuts (4,6,2,8). They were mentioned in the documentation for v6.1, but as we know, shortcut lists are scattered around different documentation pages. Opera should probably include all BlackBerry shortcuts in the list available from Menu - Help.

It would certainly be helpful if it did. I thought I'd tried E and X with v6.1 and found that they didn't work.
