          @burnout426 Thank you kind sir! Agree with your summation, been in computer business since Day #1, but not as programmer. Since in almost 30 years, most people don't know much more about how to use a computer than they did then (if they couldn't Google, do Email, or use Social Media, they wouldn't even need one!), my philosophy has always been that developers can always add anything they think is an improvement, as long as they don't remove anything that most users, since the human animal is very habitual, get so used to they're virtual crippled if it's removed, even if, as you said, the functionality is still there, but buried inside the settings somewhere, as compared in this example, to a nice, handy little icon that at least for me was a huge convenience since I'm in and out of 100 websites a day. Thank you again for your knowledge and/or sleuthing, most appreciated! Maybe it's me, but it seems like Opera developers should be figuring that out inside of a user, albeit an experienced one. Ugh! 🙂

              @leocg on Opera 67 CTRL + M was dedicated to display “Tab menu”. Since Opera 68 this shortcut is gone.

                @raphael-mioche Kinda expected since the tab menu was removed.

                Did you try checking if you can't re-enable it in settings?

                      This doesn't restore keyboard shortcut 😞

                        @Opera Team pls revert that change, the new search feature is really impractical!

                            I agree totally... I thought I did something wrong to lose this button. The current situation is most annoying!

                                @leocg Haeh? Why temporary?? Please leave it... It is one of the advantage features of Opera.

                                  @burnout426 Thank you so much as well! For someone dealing with 200+ tabs, not having them as a list to close what I don't need anymore was a nightmare.

                                    I haven't combed all Flags since v58... they've just become to much, so I really appreciate your effort!

                                      I have already dealt with a similar problem, in the upper right corner there was an icon "Recently closed tabs", after updating it was replaced by the icon"Search by tabs". opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs - here the function of closed tabs is enabled, but it is not displayed

                                        This topic doesn't answer my question, since I don't have the opera checkbox://flags/#search-in-open-tabs

                                          @overcast Are you using Opera 70? If so, the flag was removed and there isn't any way to get back the tabs menu.
