Most operations in Opera can be executed by using the keyboard. Below is a list of functions associated with keys, organised by usage. In addition, all the functions in the main menu can be accessed by using the normal Windows method in conjunction with the Alt key (eg. Alt + F and then P to print a document).TIP: The shortcut CTRL+M opens a context-specific submenu. In mouse-mode, this can be accessed using the right mouse button.
