<![CDATA[F12 to open DevTools]]>Chrome opens/closes DevTools with F12, can we have the same in Opera? It would make Opera a more feasible replacement for Chrome.

Thank you.

{
   "Keybindings": {
      "Basic": {
         "CycleToNextTab": [ "Ctrl+Tab", "Ctrl+PageDown" ],
         "CycleToPreviousTab": [ "Ctrl+Shift+Tab", "Ctrl+PageUp" ],
         "PageLeft": [ "Ctrl+Shift+PageUp" ],
         "PageRight": [ "Ctrl+Shift+PageDown" ]
      },
      "Settings": {
         "AdvancedEnabled": true
      }
   },

CycleToNextTab": [ "Ctrl+PageDown", "Ctrl+Tab" ]

Oops - I just noticed that this disabled the normal Ctr+Tab for cycling through tabs, it's not possible to defined both of these to cycle, is it?

{
   "Keybindings": {
      "Basic": {
         "CycleToNextTab": [ "Ctrl+PageDown" ],
         "CycleToPreviousTab": [ "Ctrl+PageUp" ],
         "PageLeft": [ "Ctrl+Shift+PageUp" ],

      },
      "Settings": {
         "AdvancedEnabled": true
      }
   },

"key binding for: Show bookmarks bar": AFAIK, there is no single shortcut key for this function, but you can press the key sequence: alt b enter c enter, or using mouse: go to O-Menu>Bookmarks, select "Show Bookmarks Bar" 😉

  • Show bookmarks bar

Possible?

  • Next Tab
  • Previous Tab
  • Tab number #N

Is it possible to define the key bindings for these?

There are also some other keybindings though that I would like to see implemented in Opera, like Ctrl+PgUp to previous tab and Ctrl+PgDn to next tab. These can probably be redefined by myself too, so it's a partial solution, but I'm seeing the possibility that people would jump to Opera from Chrome if it had all those nice things that Chrome has.

Also Ctrl-num to switch to tab number "num". E.g. Ctrl+2 to tab number 2.

  1. Close the Opera, go to the Opera's profile folder (find the path in O-Menu>About Opera>Paths>Profile), and open the "Preferences" file in your text editor, then add/edit the first lines, as below:
{
   "Keybindings": {
      "Basic": {
         "DevTools": [ "F12" ],
         "QuickPreferences": [ "Ctrl+Shift+I" ]
      },
      "Settings": {
         "AdvancedEnabled": true
      }
   },

(the value for the "AdvancedEnable" can be "false", if you don't use advanced keybindings)

  1. Save the changes, close the file, relaunch the Opera \m/ :cheers:
