Is it possible to put a speed dial or quick access bar link to Opera mail (stand alone)?

No, bookmarks can't link to programs. You might be able to bookmark a mailto link, but then you'd have to close the Compose window opened by the link.

Here's hoping for a customisable GUI, then we can create menu items, keyboard shortcuts, or toolbar buttons to launch other programs from within Opera. I use mnemonic shortcuts constantly in Opera 11.64.

F, T, P = Launch FTP Commander
P, P, 7 = Launch PagePlus X7
T, D = Launch ToDo.txt in Notepad2, etc.

I launch other browsers using a custom menu instead of the default Open with menu, which doesn't detect USB installations.

So how do you go about doing a "mnemonic" shortcut and custom menu? Is it possible with Opera Next 18?

I found a post

http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/71831-application-url-launch-local-application-from-browser/

and am wondering if this is a solution. I am have done some registry editing but don't know how or where to put things like this:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\appurl]
@="URL:AutoHotKey AppURL Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""

Note that their code boxes scroll ... there's a lot more in that box than you see at first. Also note, they are using an external program compiled from an AutoHotkey script - without that program, it presumably won't work.
