      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.

        Hi @ilkkah, if you would like, you can rebind it, just follow the below steps:

        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:

          Thanks - I'll do that at some point.

          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.

            What would be the settings for these key bindings:

            • Next Tab
            • Previous Tab
            • Tab number #N

            Is it possible to define the key bindings for these?

              Also key binding for:

              • Show bookmarks bar

              Possible?

                @ilkkah: "Ctrl+PgUp to previous tab and Ctrl+PgDn to next tab":

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

                  Thanks, my copy of Opera is now a bit easier to use for a long time Chrome user.

                  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?

                    To answer myself, yes it is.

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

                      @ilkkah: Yep :yes: you can use both at the same time:

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

                      \m/ :cheers:
