Space bar in 11.60? Fastforward --> Log in?
I've used space bar to quickly navigate through pages for quite some time now (press when in middle of page --> page down, when at bottom --> fast forward ( = add +1)). Very convenient. But what's up with fast forward in 11.6? It does page down, but doesn't fast forward. I've checked my keyboard shortcuts.I added a "fast forward" button in a toolbar, but it doesn't say fast forward anymore but "Log in"!? Booth the button and the space bar works just like the wand, instead of fast forwarding I'm logging in.
?
Must have added the wrong button then ... there was a combined button with both FF and Wand in a previous version, and as you saw the toolbar no longer has that button.
There was (and apparently still is) a bug with Fast forward, if there was no actual Fast forward button on your toolbar then Opera doesn't always look for appropriate links on the page. Therefore either the keyboard or mouse shortcuts would fail, since Opera didn't even know there were links to use. For some reason having an actual Fast forward button on the toolbar again fixes this, both the keyboard and mouse shortcuts work normally as long as there is an actual, visible, Fast forward button. Yes, very weird.
