<![CDATA[Easy keyboard-based navigation, the old "search for link" + enter trick]]>Still using Opera12 (for Link, wand etc), but trying to migrate. A missing feature once started is the ","-trick; eg;

  1. open page
  2. search for a link
  3. hit ENTER to open this link

Is there an equivalent in newer Opera-s? (O24 FWIW)

The Ctrl+Enter basically does the trick! Also nice to know about Esc, then Enter (@rafaelluik).

But it'll continue searching for link's text like Ctrl+F and F3 instead of searching in the link's hyperlink.

You can do this to access the links underneath the text result though, even with Ctrl+F:

  1. Open page
  2. Search for a link
  3. Hit Esc to close the search bar
  4. Hit Enter to open this link

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/vimium/dbepggeogbaibhgnhhndojpepiihcmeb

usage:

  1. press f
  2. shortcuts to all links will show up

This is Chrome extension, so you need to install this extension first:

However, you can still search for a text and you can use this feature in navigation purpose:

  1. Ctrl+F
  2. search for a text
  3. hopefully you are on the link, if not, use F3
  4. Ctrl+Enter
