My Top 5 wishes for Opera.

As tagged by olli, it's my turn to post my top 5 wishes for opera.
Other things which are probably not too important to me..
[*] Allow right click in special menu's like bookmarks and addresses in menus -- This should improve bookmark usability which the other browsers already have.
[*] Add more familiar buttons to a section in the buttons tab called "Common buttons" so newbies to opera can find their familiar buttons of other browsers quickly and easily.
[*] Make Set Preference command faster-- as it can be really slow with a load of tabs open or lots of widgets in cache.

- Opera developer tools as sidebar/panel -- To the contrary, Opera's dev console is alright, but obviously there are some features missing.Mainly things like script debugging, and not being able to keep it working for the active tab. I hope Kestrel has the Developer tools as a sidebar (hopefully an editable one, so things like pagerank etc can be implemented without any fuss.)
- To make Opera's customizations more "modular" than it already is -- Having something like this would allow opera to build a more extension like format that'd compete with firefox.
- Auto-update manager for opera and its plugins. -- This is a must for usability, first of all, it'd be easier to upgrade, it could reduce server load on Opera server if they were patches. And plugins would be more easier to handle and install.
- Inline spell checking -- This would make it easier to spell check documents etc than the current solution which is right click "check spelling" which takes more time plus in windows and linux at least you need to download and install a spell checker library.
- Allow small transparent html buttons on toolbars -- Things like pagerank would be implementable in a toolbar if combined with userjs to have pagerank and other features.

My wish for Opera is: to know how to send a clipboard-paste command from my own application into any edit / multiline-edit component inside Opera (OperaWindowClass).
(that is like sending a Windows message WM_PASTE <== doesn't work for Opera 9.24 at all.)
I've create a simple app. that work for many editor-component (inside: wordpad, notepad, firefox, etc..), sending message WM_PASTE correctly, "but didn't work" for any Opera's internal editor (either edit / multiline edit component).
(I used Windows API function SendMessage, use window-handle HWND to identify any edit/multiline-edit component as a target.)
Anybody interested and know how to do that for Opera (Windows XP) ?
That is:
1. Does Opera accept message like WM_PASTE ?
2. If not, what message (id number) have to send ?
3. or, is there any method to paste text into Opera's internal editor from our own application ?
Hope some
