@hosseintest1 I suppose I'm just +1-ing this. Over the many months I've used Opera, I keep wanting to work out how to split a tab island into two separate tab islands, and I haven't worked out how to do it. The tab islands are a great idea, but it's either not well developed yet, or not intuitive.
@leocg Can you point me to the page with the email address for Report a problem for Linux? My websearching has brought me to that page for the Touch version, and the iOS version, but I haven't found it for the version I'm using. Even when I replace ios in the URL with linux, it forwards to the Touch version. But I'm using the desktop version.
Thanks.
@leocg I'm afraid I don't know if it ever worked in Opera. It's worked in Firefox and Chrome, as long as I've used those browsers, and it works in Opera if I alter an existing URL and that ends up in Suggestions. But I've never seen it work for History, so it's inconsistent, and therefore reasonable to consider a bug.
I'll look for that tool. Cheers.
Has anybody looked at this? Is there a way I can bump it? While Opera is now my preferred browser, this issue is the main thing that makes me say 'it's really good, but it's got a few really annoying bugs', because I trip up on it every day.
I haven't found a current Opera repo in GitHub. If somebody can point me to it, I could have a go at fixing this myself?
@qpayct G'day. Thanks for your reply, but I'm not sure which issue this is supposed to help work around. I've done what you suggested and put Synballo in my bookmarks, but when I'm in one of the sidebar chat apps, clicking the bookmarks there still closes the sidebar.
Also, is the code in GitHub or something, and would you be open to a pull request, if I add the 'order by codepoint' feature that I suggested?
Thanks!
@sarahavilov Any advice on this? Even this forum is saying that this post is 'quite old'. 
Thanks, mate.
@leocg Okay, thanks. I've created a feature request—it's pretty important functionality, especially for accessibility, so hopefully the devs will address it soon.
In Chrome, Firefox and other browsers, Ctrl+Shift+Page Down moves the selected tab to the left along the tab bar, and Ctrl+Shift+Page Up moves the selected tab to the right.
This is apparently missing from Opera (114.0.5282.154 under Linux), and the functionality also doesn't appear in opera://settings/keyboardShortcuts.
Keyboard shortcuts do exist for changing which tab is selected, but not for moving the selected tab along the tab bar. And of course, I don't want to have to fiddle with the mouse just to do this—that's too slow, especially for users with physical coordination issues.
For efficiency and convenience for all users, and basic practicality for some, I urge Opera's developers to add this ASAP.
Thank you for your work.

Am I looking in the wrong place, or is this function missing from Opera?
So I selected a phone number I wanted to dial and clicked on the extension, but the QR code just loaded the page on my phone. Since the description said 'generates QR code from any text ', I thought it would generate a QR code for the text I selected? Am I doing something wrong, or is Opera's select menu messing it up? Thanks!
@leocg I was, too, thanks to @burnout426. But when you said 'in settings page', I assumed you meant clicking 'Go to full browser settings' and searching there. That didn't work for me, and I tried it before even posting here. But thanks anyhow.
I want to disable Opera's password manager, because I've been using another password manager for years, which works across all my browsers.
These instructions aren't correct: there is no Offer to save passwords option, only a Password Manager option, which only offers to import passwords from a CSV file. I don't know if these are just old instructions (I'm on version 112.0.5197.25), or if it's different under Linux.
Anybody know the secret? Thanks.
Despite continuously longing that this extension worked better with sites in Opera's sidebar, I continue to like this extension.
Another improvement I suggest is the option to show the history in codepoint order, instead of chronological order. That way, different types of characters, including emoji, could be grouped together in the history, instead of in the seemingly arbitrary order they appear now. It would also be nice to be able to delete characters from the history.
This works pretty much the way I expected, and has some nice features. But I wish it interacted with chat sites in Opera's sidebar better, like WhatsApp, Facebook and Xitter. I don't know whether it's possible for the sidebar to stay open when I click on this extension's icon, and have it automatically paste into the sidebar, but it'd be a ripper if it could.
I'm currently using Opera 107.0.5045.21 under Mint 20.2 Cinnamon 5.0.7.
Expected behaviour: The selected entry opens in a new tab, like in other browsers, and like if the user had typed something without selecting from the Suggestions/History
Actual behaviour: Nothing happens
