<![CDATA[Make new tab active]]>I've just started using Opera. Very pleased with it, but I have a couple of questions. I can't find how to set Opera to always make a new tab active. Ie when you click on a link and Opera opens a new tab, it goes to it automatically, rather than having to click on it.

Is there a keyboard short cut to show and un-show the bookmarks bar. I want it when I start Opera, but then I want the space. It would be quicker than going into the manu.

Many thanks.

Paul

May be your keyboard having problems.

What do you mean?

Anyways, it’s easy to customize keyboard shortcuts in settings.

Yes, Ctrl+B

It does nothing here.

There's no setting for it. Maybe an extension can do it.

Nope.
