      @redsnapper clicking on the folder opens it. I'd suggest you to right click copy and paste

        @k1llua There is no funtionality to mark multiple folders or bookmark entries for coping/cutting/deleting (think normal file manager operations). Seems you can only work with a single entry at a time. I have tons of folders and bookmarks to maintain so this is unworkable for me.

          You can select several bookmarks from inside a folder.

            @leocg Only by clicking each one individually! As I said what I was looking for was the normal Windows type functionality to mark and manipulate multiple object.

              Ctrl A should work as well as using the mouse

                you'll have checkboxes like this when you hover on them
                Opera Snapshot_2019-05-09_031138_asdasd.png
                click on it (you can do this several times or you can select everything by using ctrl+a)
                Screenshot (14).png
                move/copy them to wherever you like to
                this should have no restriction on the type of energy you're selecting (just a bookmark/folder/folder(with sub folders)/folder(with irregular sub folders)

                  @k1llua OK thanks so Ctl A selects all. How do you select groups without clicking on each entry i.e. normally in Windows would expect to select an entry then click another entry with Shift pressed and all entries in between would be selected.. Also if you press Ctl A how do you do the opposite i.e Unselect all?

                    @redsnapper unselect all by pressing esc
                    opera doesn't have the shift + click feature you're talking about

                        @k1llua OK I will experiment with all suggestions.
                        Have to say it feels pretty quirky/non intuitive without the usual key ops. Don't see why Tick marks are required on entries - why not just highlight selected (it does this anyway).

                          @redsnapper In 2020, the shift-click multi-select capability is on Opera Browser at least for Macs. I would imagine it is there now for windows as well. Both kinds of multi-select work:
                          (a) Shift-Click to select a contiguous sequence of bookmarks
                          (b) A-La-Carte Mult-Select - on Mac this is by holding down the Command key. I imagine it is the Option Key on Windows.
