      I've been using Opera as my web browser for as long as I can remember. I've learned to get to most out of Opera with keyboard shortcuts. But with the new versions, they've all changed!
      For example:
      Shift-clicking a link used to open the link in a new tab, now it's opened in a new window
      Ctrl+{1-9} used to open a speed dial link. Now it doesn't do anything!

      And the most annoying change! Ctrl+tab used to cycle through your LAST USED tabs, now it just cycles through all the tabs in order...

      And probably many more I can't remember now.

      Is there any way to use the old keyboard shortcuts and general behavior of the old versions of opera in the new versions?

        Open the page opera:flags and look for "tab cycling".

        Shift-clicking a link used to open the link in a new tab, now it's opened in a new window
        Ctrl+Shift+click and Shift+Middle-click works.

        Ctrl+{1-9} used to open a speed dial link. Now it doesn't do anything!
        Yep. 😕

            Ctrl+Shift+click and Shift+Middle-click works.

            But not like before.

            Now, it opens a tab up and shifts focus to that tab, where as before, it opened it in the background. Not a total deal breaker for me but I sure don't like it. Sure I can use the right-click option of "Open link in new tab." But that is sooo much slower.

            OOPS. Just discovered (By accident) that I can use ctrl-click to open in the background. Good deal.

            2 big keyboard shortcuts I used all the time.

            alt-a close page and switch to next page
            alt-z reopen page

            Sure wish I could have those 2 back.
