Switch between tabs in full screen mode

Hi,

using the full screen mode in Opera it is not so easy to switch between tabs. You can use the Ctrl-tab, but this can take quite long until the right tab is found. Since in ~1% of the time I use firefox I found they have a better solution for this problem: If you're in full screen mode and you move your mouse up to the top of the screen the tabs appear - and disappear again if you move down. How about that for opera?

Autohide of toolbars is one of the oldest requests on the wish-list — try an advanced search going back forever.

Try enabling thumbnails in the Tab cycler — Preferences, Tabs. That may help unless you have a lot of tabs open. Right mouse button + Scrollwheel can also be used to show the tab cycler.

The best way is to enable shortcut keys and use 1 and 2 to switch backwards and forwards between tabs.

Another workaround, one I don't really like, but it exists so I'll post it is:

Shift+F12 -> Panels -> Enable Windows
Then just use the Windows panel to switch between tabs.
