A couple of questions from a newbie..
Hey everyone. I just started using Opera and love it. There are a couple of questions I have though.On other browsers I've been able to double-click a text box (such as a box where I'm going to enter my email login id) and when I double-click the words that I've typed in previously will drop down and I can choose whichever one I'm needing to use. It's handy if, for example, there are two people on the same computer using yahoo mail. That way you can just double-click, choose your sign-in name, then enter your password. That isn't happening for me in Opera and I'm just wondering if there is a setting I can change or if it just isn't an option on here.
ALSO, when I click on a speed dial site that is set up it always opens in the same tab. I'd rather it open in a new tab so I can have the speed dial tab open at all times. I've looked all over to try and change that but I can't figure out how to.
Thanks to anyone who helps me out with these! I already love Opera and fixing these two issues would make it perfect for me.
Regarding your first question, Opera does not store previously typed words like previously searched words. If you simply wish to store frequently used information for quick access, you can use the Wand (Preferences(Ctrl+F12) -> Forms tab). Opera Wand does provide a convenient password manager.
Regarding the second question, press Shift while clicking to open the page in a new (foreground) tab and press Ctrl+Shift when clicking to open the page in a new background tab.
Hope that helps.

You can click it with your middle mouse button (scroll), to open it in a new background tab. It works for all links, and is very addictive.
PS. You can also close tabs the same way.

That's not quite true. You can "set up" as many e-mail addresses as there are fields in Personal information to behave like that (note that you don't have to write your name in the Name field). There is only one field for E-mail that can be filled automatically when there's a form field called "email" on website.

That's real clever - thank you.
