Comments on: Two Bad Experiences with Browser Interfaces http://stevenclark.com.au/2008/03/30/two-bad-experiences-with-browser-interfaces/ Wed, 19 Nov 2008 14:12:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: steven http://stevenclark.com.au/2008/03/30/two-bad-experiences-with-browser-interfaces/#comment-907 steven Mon, 31 Mar 2008 21:14:27 +0000 http://stevenclark.com.au/2008/03/30/two-bad-experiences-with-browser-interfaces/#comment-907 Thanks again Thomas, I better let you get back to work :) My shortlist why I've come to prefer Opera is actually that it actually does zoom really well, it remembers the state of the screen I've got on a tab (a biggie for me with about 20 tabs open on average), its fast and except on that one occasion I've never had any obtrusive barriers while working (another biggie). A web developer toolbar from a third party would be nice like the one from Nils or the Firefox plugin. BTW I noticed on Robert Nyman's blog today that Firefox's Acid3 is way off... which is interesting. I notice you beat WebKit to 100/100 Acid3 this week too. Thanks again for the advice Thomas, I'll stick with it. Thanks again Thomas, I better let you get back to work :)

I think that toggles image settings, but I have honestly not used it before. When I turn off images, I click the glasses or go to the View menu -> Images. You can also right click in any toolbar to bring up your customization options. Then you can click Buttons -> Browser view and drag and drop any of the icons into any toolbar. In the new beta, we've removed the glasses and instead have made the status bar appear by default. This allows you to control images and zooming at the bottom of your browser. Of course, by right clicking and customizing, you can remove it. Good luck playing around with Opera. Ask me any questions...i'll be glad to help as much as needed. One shortcut is i+shift.

Unless I was somehow confused at the time... Are there web developer secret shortcuts? I'm a bit confused now. :) Thomas which shortcut was it on that list that made all the images just on that page turn off, sorry turn back to x’s??? Unless I was somehow confused at the time…

Are there web developer secret shortcuts? I’m a bit confused now. :)

That's easy enough if you go into Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Shortcuts and click to enable them. You can also customize your shortcuts in this window. Let us know what you think about the beta over on my.opera.com/desktopteam/ Best, Thomas So now you want the shortcuts, eh? :) Here’s a complete list: http://www.opera.com/products/desktop/keyboard/

I would have settled on the day for the shortcut list so I could make my images disappear. Ahhh they were single key shortcuts, no wonder I had such a confusing time. I kept searching randomly for two key shortcut combinations for some reason. Thanks for getting back to me, I really appreciate it. I don't expect MS will bother to drop by in a hurry lol. :) I think I'll grab a 9.5 build, too. Hi Thomas, ahhh great stuff.

You may be pleased to know that those single-key shortcuts disabled by default in Opera 9.50. You can try it for yourself at http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/ where we post new builds of the upcoming 9.50 every week. I'd like to hear if this solves your problem with the shortcuts.
