Hi list! Well, as you know us Opera users have the pleasure of being able todo quick searches using shortcut keys like "g blah blah blah" to search google for blah blah blah. And after seeing the Usability improvement ideas thread I set out on the quest to enable us to quickly jump to provided KEY@ links using a simple keypress like we can with google. Now, according to the Opera web-site and documentation you are unable todo this! But, as with most programs you'll be surprised what you can do with a little fiddling, so I started digging and I can now jump to any provided keys just by typing in fr then pasting in the link I want to goto. Whereas before you either had to type in the address of your node and port or clicking on a personal bar button and then paste in the link.
So, here is how todo it! Close down any Opera sessions you have open. Locate your profile directory for example it may be in E:\Freenet\Opera\Profile\ and open the file search.ini (not the search.ini in Opera\ ) Now, go down to the bottom of the file and paste the following in: [Search Engine 40] Name=Freenet URL=http://127.0.0.1:8888/%s Query= Key=fr Is post=0 Has endseparator=0 Encoding=utf-8 Search Type=0 Verbtext=17063 Nameid=0 Position=-1 If you run your freenet node on another machine just type in the IP and port inplace of the example I listed above, but make sure you have %s after the / You can change Key to anything you want to as long as it isn't already taken like 'f' is for example. These instructions work on Opera 7.20 and 7.21 And in theory should work back to Opera 6 just change [Search Engine 40] to be the next number above the one before it if it is different. And this is reason #283791827983 why Opera is much better than anything else :) I hope my fellow Opera users find this as helpful as I have :) Regards, Lee Stoneman PS Hope it was okay to post to both lists _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
