Easy keyboard-based navigation, the old "search for link" + enter trick

Still using Opera12 (for Link, wand etc), but trying to migrate. A missing feature once started is the ","-trick; eg;
- open page
- search for a link
- hit ENTER to open this link
Is there an equivalent in newer Opera-s? (O24 FWIW)

There is no such feature in new Opera, like searching for the link. However, you can still search for a text and you can use this feature in navigation purpose:
- Ctrl+F
- search for a text
- hopefully you are on the link, if not, use F3
- Ctrl+Enter

One more hint: I found Vimium extention very usefull:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/vimium/dbepggeogbaibhgnhhndojpepiihcmebusage:
- press f
- shortcuts to all links will show up
This is Chrome extension, so you need to install this extension first:

You can use , . / if you enable the advanced keyboard shortcuts. But it'll continue searching for link's text like Ctrl+F and F3 instead of searching in the link's hyperlink.
You can do this to access the links underneath the text result though, even with Ctrl+F:
- Open page
- Search for a link
- Hit Esc to close the search bar
- Hit Enter to open this link

Thanks a lot, both of you!
The Ctrl+Enter basically does the trick! Also nice to know about Esc, then Enter (@rafaelluik).
