Opera 10 - no more kb/mouse shortcuts?
OPERA
pressed along with the left mouse button to open a new tab, didn't work. Nothing happened. Now I
just upgraded to 10.01 and the "open in a background tab" (Control_Shift_Left mouse button) doesn't
work either. Is it just me? Have they changed the keyboard shortcuts? It looks like things are
the same here:

Could I have done something?

I can't say whether or not it is just you, but I don't see this problem.
I do run with a very slightly modified keyboard layout, so perhaps that
protected me.

I too have a modified keyboard and haven't had any problems
left clicking with any 10 version.
However, some other keyboard keys are acting differently in
10.01. I haven't yet figured exactly what is working
differently. I think something has changed with the keyboard
files.
I think the left click is hard coded into Opera, and not in
the ini files. I don't think the modified keyboard should
affect left click.
If anyone has information to the contrary, I would sure like
to know. It could be useful.

Its intermittent now. Bizarre. I'll keep watching and post results.

Nothing changed between 10.00 and 10.01, and in general since 9.5. This
Shift and Ctrl+Shift stuff is BTW mostly hard-coded in the browser, and
can't be changed by editing shortcuts.
Note that the 'open in new tab' stuff is impractical for javascript:
links, but that also is not new.

You can go back to 9.27 keyboard.

Any chance of restoring Shift+Enter from the address bar opening the URL
you just typed in, in a new tab?

That 'just works' here, in Opera 10, as well as in earlier versions,
except maybe some alpha builds.

Hm, yes it works with the default keyboard setups. I'm using a custom
setup where Shift+Enter is opening the URL in a new tab in Opera 8.54 but
not 9.64 or 10 (it's the same setup file copied over). Any idea which
setting in the keyboard setup needs modifying for Opera 10?

In 9.27, Opera solved the problem of what to do on a shift
click of a javascript link by ignoring the shift and opening
the link in the same tab.
That was a reasonable solution to the problem.
An alternative solution would be to open a new tab with the
same page and then do an unshift click on the link in the new
page. This would give you two tabs.
This would be an even better solution.
Opera 9.5 came along and took out the fix from 9.27 and went
back to opening an empty tab.
Though a small reason, this is one reason why people are
referring to 9.27 as an "Opera fork," with functions not in
later versions.
