Hi!

A long time ago, in a version far, far away, there existed a neat little feature.
You were then able to hold down the right mouse button and scroll the wheel, which had a wondrous effect indeed: scrolling down would switch to the next tab (and next tabs if you kept scrolling), and scrolling up would do the opposite.

This was good, but it disappeared for reasons unknown. Was it the doings of the Wicked Witch? The Dastardly Dragon? The Trolling Troll? Would we ever see this feature again?
The people wanted to know, for they remembered how convenient it once was; they could cycle through their many tabs extremely quickly and painlessly, not even having to stop supporting their head with their left hand to reach the keyboard to do the same, and it was in keeping with the magical mouse shortcuts, which were truly the mark of the good king Opera!
Back in those halcyon days, navigation felt immediate and a direct extension of one's wish. Fingers barely moved, and yet results were seen instantly. It was an enchanting time, forsooth.

Thank you, and good night.

And it got them crap market share. There is a point where you have to admit that something sin't working and move on.

They went from above 2% to below that. The situation didn't improve.
But it's a good thing they have fanboys like you ready to defend Opera no matter what they do, at least that'll keep them above the 1% mark.

For narushima

• Open folder Opera
• Open folder defaults
• Found file 'search.ini' and open in Text Editor
• String 'Default Search='
• Look down on the text and change to whatever you want

The only "search.ini" I can find contains search engines I used years ago but which do no longer appear in the current version of Opera. Also, changes I make in it don't stick. I can even delete the file completely and it doesn't have any impact on the serach engines.

Yeah, i've been really disappointed with the way opera has been going during the last year. I've been using Opera for around 4-5 years now. I was always highly in favor of it.[...]

I have the same experience/outlook. I want to keep loving Opera so much, but all the things that made it special are being stripped away. And for what?
The user base is lower than when the browser was highly customisable: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

If you take that aspect away from Opera, what does it have on other browsers?

What do you mean by hyphenation?

I should have gone back more than a page to check before creating this thread, then.
This can be closed, since it's redundant.

I asked about this in a relevant thread, but that was closed, so I might as well create a new one.

So the problem is that I can't get rid of the default search engines.

With every update so far I went to the routine of deleting the "defaultpartnercontent.json" file to get rid of the default search engines (which I never use) and get my custom engines back.

This no longer works. If I do that, Opera whines that a file is corrupted, and won't launch.

I don't want Yahoo to use the "y" shortcut, I want YouTube. I don't want the French Wikipedia on "w", I want the English one.

Is there any way to get rid of the default search engines in the newest version?

Thanks.

So is it possible now?

Seriously... please... stop.

So you weren't using the search field in history? So you were just looking at the entries? Or you were using search in page?

Whether I was using the search field or whatever, it was all empty anyway, nothing to search for.
