      @dahnza Ctrl Tab cycles between tabs, if yours is doing something different you can try resetting the keyboard shortcuts.

        I've been looking for years now to get a shortcut 'jump to" key, like Chrome does, for: Right Click > Saved Linked Content As...
        Usually hitting "k" in Chrome sends you there, no option in Opera GX!

        You can hit S, but this just jumps and highlights the option, does not execute it requiring an carriage return still.

            Can you provide a list of the most commonly used keyboard shortcuts in Opera for tasks like navigation, tab management, and search?

                You can check out the Opera settings and preferences to make it look how you want. You can also find shortcuts on the keyboard that help you work faster.

                  @leocg: STRG+TAB does not cycle through tabs. If you hold STRG then in will open a window where you can manuall cycle through tabs pressing TAB. But pressing both buttons at once does in fact only cycle between the last 2 tabs. As far as I can tell this browser lacks the shortcut for cycling through tabs with a simple shortcut button which is really annoying.

                      @mxvb If you want Opera to not remember opened tabs from last session, just change the settings in OnStartup section.
