Shortcuts don't work?
I've just installed Opera 10.51 on windows XP, never used Opera before. Generally quite impressed, but standard shortcuts don't seem to work.For example, in my yahoo mail, if I have focused on a message in my Inbox, say, in IE and other browsers, I can use my keyboard up and down arrows to move through the folder. I can use Ctrl/home or Ctrl/End to go to first or last messages in that folder.
None of that seems to work in Opera. Just to be sure, I checked in other apps and my keyboard is fine, the keys still work.
Is this a known issue or just that Opera doesn't support normal windows apps shortcuts? It would be quite a disadvantage.
While I'm writing, i was also surprised that I shut what i thought was one tab and it closed the window (or perhaps crashed). Just maybe I closed the window by mistake, but shouldn't it conform that you want to close all tabs? A right pain. Also, can you control whether when you restyart Opera it opens 'clean' or remembers all previous tabs and reopens them (as it just did).
Not sure about shortcuts... you could try going to
Tools (or Settings)
- Preferences (Ctrl+F12)
-- Advanced
--- Shortcuts
And "Enable single-key shortcuts" ... but, that wouldn't fix the Ctrl+? ones...
Closing Confirmation... same tab of Preferences, but the "Browsing" section, and enable "Confirm Exit"
Startup Options... go to the "General" tab of Preferences, and change the Startup type.
If you want to hunt/play around, you can also go to <a href="opera:config">opera:config</a> which has a lot of options that aren't in the dialogs.

Was it a PDF file in the Adobe Acrobat plugin? There's a known bug with Ctrl W closing the browser. Use another viewer like PDF-XChange, Adobe Reader, or open PDF files externally.

Preferences (either Alt-P or from the menu), on the General tab is Startup where you can choose to start with your previous session, with another saved session (if you've saved a previous session), with just your homepage, or with no page (depending on another setting, that last option will be to start with no tabs at all or with a Speed Dial tab).
