Rotate through Panels with Arrow Keys!

Tuesday, 15. April 2008, 10:19:28

I did wrote some tips on rotate through Panels with Hotkeys & Mouse Gestures in the past. Today, I discovered a bug in Opera that allow us to improve the F4 function: Able to cycle through panels with Arrow keys right-after activated the panel! :lol:

1. Go to Preferences(Ctrl+F12) > Advanced > Shortcuts > Keyboard Setup.
(& create a new keyboard setup, if you didn't do that already)

2. Double-click on a keyboard setup you want to use, & input F4 in Quick find box to find F4.

3. After you found F4 shortcut, replaced it's Actions with this:
Set alignment, "hotlist", 0 | Focus panel & Focus personal bar. Click OK twice.

Now, after you press F4 to activate the Panel, you can rotate through all available panels with the Arrow keys immediately! This is very useful if you don't want to use point & click method to reach custom panels.

UPDATE: Someone pointed out that pressing F7 twice will do the same thing by default.

Rotate between Panels with Mouse Gesture!

Previously, we talk about Rotate between Panels with Hot-keys. So, this time we will try to use Mouse Gesture to rotate between panels instead! You can choose to use GestureLeft/Right OR FlipBack/Forward OR any other MG that you preferred.

1. Go to Preferences(Ctrl+F12) > Advanced > Shortcuts > Mouse Setup.
(& create a new mouse setup, if you didn't do that already)

2. Double-click on a Mouse setup you want to use, then go to Advanced > Tree Widget section.

3. Look for GestureLeft (or FlipBack) shortcut, then changed it's actions command into:
Focus panel > Focus panel, 0 > Focus panel, 4 > Focus panel, 3 > Focus panel, 2 > Focus panel, 1 | Close page & Switch to previous page. Hit Enter once.

4. Next, Look for GestureRight (or FlipForward) shortcut, then changed it's actions command into:
Focus panel > Focus panel, 0 > Focus panel, 1 > Focus panel, 2 > Focus panel, 3 > Focus panel, 4 | Close page & Switch to next page. Hit Enter once, & OK twice.

Now you can use MG to rotate between panels when it's active.
NOTE: These MG will ONLY work when panel is active & the pointer is on a panel area!

Also, you can use the same MG to close & switch to previous/next tab when you focus on a Manager (e.g. Bookmarks Manager, Transfer Manager...etc). You can't do that by default, but when you combined this MG with Closed & Switched Tab with simple Mouse Gesture customization, you can close regular tab & Manager with the same MG. :wink:

Rotate between Panels with Hotkeys!

I got this idea from tomu's TTT-buttons panels, so we should give the credit to him.

1. Add F6 as the shortcut, then insert these actions:
Focus panel > Focus panel, 0 > Focus panel, 4 > Focus panel, 3 > Focus panel, 2 > Focus panel, 1

2. Then modify F7 actions to:
Focus panel > Focus panel, 0 > Focus panel, 1 > Focus panel, 2 > Focus panel, 3 > Focus panel, 4

Now you can rotate between panels with F6 & F7. If you use more than 5 panels, then you need to add more panels into the actions syntax. (Example: Add Focus panel, 5 after/before Focus panel, 4 if you want to rotate between the 1st & the 6th panel)

For Mouse Gesture setup, go here: Rotate between Panels with Mouse Gesture
