    Well I'm running it now... seems pretty sweet.

    Do you people use keybaord shortcuts much?

    This mouse gestures thing seems intereting too.
    I have discovered that China and Spain are really one and the same country, and it's only ignorance that leads people to believe they are two seperate nations. If you don't belive me try writing 'Spain' and you'll end up writing 'China'."

      one more thing, Opera has URL filtering. That means you can get your pages to load without the on-page ads (not popups). I used that in opera 6.03, worked like a charm.

      I have 6.05 now, but didnt get to configuring that yet.


      what are mouse gestures for? do they speed anything up?

        Nah, I just use CTRL+N and ENTER. Some people swear by F12, but I always identify as Opera myself for political reasons. Opera brings the joy back into mousing.

        There are also the everyday shortcuts of CTRL+F, F3, CTRL+C, CTRL+V, CTRL+X, CTRL+A.

          Right-click-drag-left = back
          Right-click-drag-right = forward
          Right-click-drag-down = new page

          Opera's navigation behaviour is also far superior to that of MSIE and Mozilla; you'll never get a page about content having expired, POST operation being too old, or you needing to reload while backing and forwarding.

            Other mouse gestures:

            Right-click(on a link) drag-down - open link in new window (foreground)

            Right-click drag-down-up - open link in new window (background)

            Right-click drag-down-left - minimize window

            Right-click drag-down-right - close window

              or you needing to reload while backing and forwarding.


              this was a big reason for me to switch to opera. why IE needed to reload half of pages on simple 'back' command was beyond me


              I m playing with mouse gestures now... cool!

                    I still feel that mouse gestures are the spawn of the devil himself!

                    Or that just may be because I associate gestures with Black and White.

                    /me plans on trying to download opera again...
                    (The download died last time)
                    I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                        You never know, I may yet be converted to the dark side.

                          I've always wondered what the last thread in the forum would look like...

                            I have been using Opera 7 since almost as soon as it came out with no problems.

                            Thanks all for the mouse functions, I hadn't used them much until now.

                              You can edit that mouse gesture out in the Opera 7.10 Preferences panel.
