Its probably the same with OperaIt's nothing to do with the browser. The reason it works is because the A records in DNS for site.com and www.site.com are usually identical. There are a few sites where it's different though. Oh, and Ctrl + Enter when typing addresses, saves writing www. and .com, which must add up to quite a few million calories I haven't burned using it.Try CTRL+Enter to send email :thumbs:. Most mail clients support this hotkey. |

The reason it works is because the A records in DNS for site.com and www.site.com are usually identical. Bletch is right, but there's also the oft-unused function of Firefox performing a Google search on terms entered into the location bar. Highly ranked search terms result in a handy "I'm feeling lucky" type search which takes you straight to the most relevant search result. For example in Firefox, simply typing "microsoft" will take you directly to "microsoft.com" via a Google search. A key combo I use quite a bit besides the usual CCP is Ctrl+Shift+T (Undo Close Tab) in Firefox. |

| 648168 | 2008-03-11 02:58:00 | Ctrl+Shift+Click in Opera, open in new tab, Ctrl Alt Del is seconded :(... slightly off topic, but mouse gestures in Opera are awesome! Mouse gestures is also available on Firefox too as an extension. The movement combination is similar to Opera's, not to mention. Cheers :) |

| 648171 | 2008-03-11 03:48:00 | Oh lol, didn't see that. Just goes to show you really ARE as awesome as me. Or is that the other way round. Nowadays I use my "RL" mouse gesture instead :P |

| 648172 | 2008-03-11 04:00:00 | I still reckon Opera beats that - CTRL+Z to reopen a closed tab is much easier to hit with one hand while keeping the other on the mouse. | Erayd (23) | ||
