Address Bar, Down Arrow vs. Tabbing

I searched the forums with no luck.

I am migrating from Firefox to Opera, and so far loving it a lot more (on Mac OSX 10.6).

The only usability problem, or difficulty I am having is that when I am in the address bar and start to type "google" I get a list from my history. This is pretty typical. I am used to using TAB to jump down and pick an item from the list. In Opera I have to use the DOWN ARROW.

Well, down arrow is one of those keys that isn't really easy to access on any keyboard without looking down or taking my hands off the keyboard to do so. TAB on the other hand is more friendly for faster typing.

Is there any way to change this behavior in Opera?

hi

In Opera > Preferences > Advanced > Shortcuts, edit the Opera Standard for keyboard setup. Expand Advanced > Address Dropdown Widget, edit the Next Item Command from "down" to "Tab."
