@flynn-farrow I appreciate that people want to kindly offer workarounds, or explain why we who are requesting this might be sadly misguided. It seems it's usually from people who only open a few tabs at a time. Again, we're just asking for behavior normal to all other browsers.

Consider someone who has many (dozens, or even hundreds) of tabs open. It IS possible, and no, the machine WON'T always crash (some of have lots of ram, and may have an organizational style that prefers keeping tabs open to closing them or bookmarking them).
And in that case consider a person who may be on tab x, and do ctrl-t to create a new one, and then maybe use ctrl-1 to go back to a first tab, and then want to go back to that last newly created tab.

Sure, if one has the default behavior to allow ctrl-tab to cycle to the previously used tab, that helps. But what if they visit 2 tabs and THEN want to go back to the last one. Or they may have changed the tab behavior (for other reasons) to NOT have ctrl-tab cycle back to the previously opened tabs. That probably is where this is more of an issue.

I do, and hit this daily since trying opera again, so I notice this lack of ctrl+9, as do many others asking about it in these forums, in this post and others.

And sure, one can use ctrl+1, then shift-ctrl-tab to "backup one". But why must we?

Again, we're just asking that ctrl-9 work like in most browsers, to simply go to the last tab. Is sacrificing that key so bad? again what if it remains to default as it is, but can be changed for those preferring this?

I suspect the divide may be as much about those who leave the default for ctrl-tab to cycle to recently opened tabs, rather than in their order on screen. Different strokes for different folks. But since that provision was made, this option for ctrl-9 to go to the last perhaps just better suits those who turn OFF "cycle tabs in most recent order".

@paxsu and others interested in this: I found the same problem and was surprised, as hovering over links (to see the URL in the status bar at the bottom) had indeed worked in Opera for me, just moments before it stopped working. That's when I came searching for any solution and found this post, among others.

Here's a workaround that's worked for me: all I had to do was click on some text in the page (not a link, I mean) and then hit the tab key. Suddenly now hovering Did show the URL in the status bar, and of course tabbing to a link Also shows the URL.

While I can't figure out what makes it suddenly Stop working (sure, could be some extension, or could just be a bug), at least discovering this has allowed me to immediately see the URLs again, which is indeed important for safety sake. Hope that helps others.

Thank you!

@burnout426 Thanks for the news, but I will say that I updated to the latest stable 77.0.4054.146 (Windows 10), and I did restart Opera, but I don't find any "switch to last tab" option listed in the shortcuts in settings.

And while that bug list does indeed show this being fixed in this version (as ticket DNA-93637), I couldn't find any further details on it.

Has anyone else gotten this to work?

I'm really looking forward to it. Sure, it's one less than doing ctrl+1>shift-tab, but since I do work in multiple browsers on multiple machines (that are usually other than Opera), I would love to see this work as it does every else on my main browser.

Loving it so far. I'd long been a fan of the Great Suspender in Chrome, which offers similar functionality (may well be the inspiration for this one). I dropped from Opera using 1.3g to 500m, upon suspending all tabs. And it seems to leave them suspended on restart of Opera, which is great.

So those of us who like many tabs can do it without the memory squeeze. Now we need only deal with the people who fat-shame us, as if we're wrong to want to have many tabs open. Different strokes, folks. There are reasons that bookmarks don't work well. (We may want to be able to retrace our steps in the history for an open tab, which a bookmark would not do.)

And I can confirm that a tab suspended by this tool does retain its history.

Indeed, a quirk I just encountered was that I found (perhaps after the browser restart) that I could not unsuspend the tab by clicking it, like it should (and had before, in testing before the browser restart). But I could just hit the back button and the "previous" page before the "suspended" screen was the page that had been suspended, and all the pages before it in the history of that tab were indeed still there.

And some minutes later I could again use the feature to click a page to unsuspend it.

Time will tell how things go, but again so far, so good.

@concretable probably for the same reason that some people only scan a forum reply or email, and reply to it, raising an issue addressed already in what they didn't read. Different strokes...

@asdfninethousand Yep, of course very good point. That's why we are asking instead that the more traditional ctrl-9 be used (even if it means losing the ability to access the "ninth" tab).

I have added this extension to Opera (64.0.3417.47 on Win10 Pro) for the first time, and I find that the "related results" feature does not work. When I do a google search, for words that do exist in evernote, there is no indication of such results in the google results page (as DOES happen on Chrome with the same extension, both also the latest versions). FWIW, the web clipper basic features DO work in Opera, and the "related results" feature is checked in the extensions settings. Is anyone else finding this feature not working in Opera? (I only learned of the related results feature today, after 10 years with EN, having never really been a fan of the "web clipping" feature really, so had not installed the extension in years.)

@concretable This may be true, but as @waalex notes, it's the default in nearly all other browsers that ctrl-9 goes to the last tab. Opera COULD opt to make it ctrl-0, but "sacrificing access to the 9th tab" with this key would make sense for compatibility.

And like waalex, I do so wish it was an option in Opera. I'd get it if they wanted to keep the DEFAULT as it is, but we who come from other browsers should have the option to make this feature work like so many others do.
