Questions about the 26 stable Linux release?

1. There doesn't seem to be any way to set web page colors, or apply a CSS stylesheet.

User CSS extension

2. It doesn't import bookmarks from my current Opera (11.64).

You can import from the opera://settings/importData page

3. The F2 command to let you enter a URL doesn't seem to work any more.

You can remap F2 to FocusAddressbar to achieve the same effect or use F8.

It's also missing the normal menu bar (File, Edit, View, etc). So I seem to be limited to doing Google searches...

They are present under Unity or use the Opera button, which has all the same options.

Also, there is an option in Settings/Websits that's supposed to keep sites from accessing my physical location. Great idea, but it doesn't seem to work: a couple of sites I looked at discover my location (state & zip code) anyway.

They can also do this via your IP address, which is not something we can fix. It is the same in all browsers.

4. Bookmarks: instead of the fairly obvious Alt-B, they're now set with Alt-D.

Ctrl+b is Speed Dial Ctrl+d is bookmarks. Remap them if it bothers you.

Instead of readable text, the bookmark becomes a thumbnail image of the page I bookmarked. This is NOT usable!

You can change the view to a list instead of thumbnail images.

5. When using the scroll vertical scroll bar, if the mouse cursor is moved more than a small distance left or right of the bar, the display jumps back to the top of the page.

Move your mouse back towards the scroll bar and it will jump back again.

How it is possible to change the back hotkey from ctrl+left arrow to normal and default backspace? I'm running opera in Ubuntu 14.10

Yes, you can remap the keyboard. This is probably what you are after:

   "Keybindings": {
      "Basic": {
         "Back": [ "Alt+Left", "Ctrl+Left", "Backspace" ]
      }
   },

Hi. I just upgrade on my Ubuntu. I can see email is gone ? Is there any way to get my emails back, other than downgrading ?

You have to use the old version to get email, but you don't have to downgrade, you can install old opera alongside the new opera. Read about it here: http://ruario.ghost.io/2014/12/23/installing-12-16-alongside-modern-opera.

Hi, ruario.

I have Opera 26.0 on my Linux Mint. when I type keywords into the URL bar, Google search is at work. But it's for Google.CA. How can I make Google.COM the default?

So all the interesting opera features are still missing, is there any plan to put them back ?

I'm talking about the sidebar, the gestures, the middle click paste'n'go, tab stacking, etc.

Hello,
there's a way to change the color of the sidebars?
And there's a way to choose the sources of news in the «discover» tool? More or less like a feed aggregator.

Which sidebars are you talking about? And there's now way to change the sources in discover, if you want to discuss it, there is a thread about it here: https://forums.opera.com/topic/7064/filter-discover-sources/1

Well, they're not on the side, I was wrong.
I mean the main bars of instruments and bookmarks.

Thanks, I'll post my idea there.

You can't, the only thing you can change is the color behind the tabs by changing theme in Linux.

In this example it's changed to black:

In Opera 12, Shift+Click on a link opened the page in a new tab. In 26 it's opening in a new window.
How do you open the link in a new tab?

You use Ctrl instead of Shift.

Hello, I just noticed that I still have the 12.x beta in which I am allowed to set shortcuts for the search engines as I like. Is it still possible to do so in 27 or is it the same as in the windows version since you say that the linux version comes with all the "features" of the windows version.

Whether the version Opera Linux for 32bit?

A few things I really miss or annoy me in the new opera:

1 - Ability to (automatic) organize the bookmarks alphabetically (except on bookmarks bar).
2 - Icon only bookmarks bar. Deleting the info is not a better way to accomplish that, IMHO. If there are a option to centralize, better.
3 - On the bookmarks dialog show what is inside "My Folder" directly instead of showing "My Folder" and the "Bookmarks Bar" folder. A button to access it directly would be nice.

Cheers!
