Enable a sort of caret navigation for opera 9.

Assign this to the k ctrl shortcut in opera, to turn it off, press k ctrl again.

Focus page & Go to page,"javascript:if(document.designMode=='on'){void(document.designMode='off');}else{void(document.designMode='on');}"

Needs javascript to be enabled of course.

That can definetly bork the current page a lot ! Like, hidden content is disposed, newlines are converted to regular white-spaces, input fields, buttons and textareas, are too removed from the DOM. OF course, these are Opera problems.

I guess that's the best one can do? And it doesn't help at all if you're using Opera 8.5 like me.

I wish Opera would would copy (and maybe even improve on?) Mozilla's "carot" mode. It's such a small innovation but it's the single feature I miss most when I switch to Opera or IE.

I love this feature (caret browsing) of opera, but I want to have it slightly different like in Firefox. I want the caret symbol to appear only when I place the mouse cursor over text area, and the mouse pointer should appear in other areas. How can we achieve this?
