Designer Keyboard Setup

Offers single-key and modifier key shortcuts to most functions related to browsing and developing websites.

This isn't mine, it's a part of Moose's Designer toolset. This is based on the version from 2007/07/11. I didn't keep the original file (I thought I could always grab it from his website again), but the changes are minor. I added Ctrl + 4 to allow exiting without having to deselect textareas first, for instance. An alternative approach (i.e. the only one endorsed by Moose) is Esc, 4.

The only way to initially figure out how to use this keyboard setup is to keep the keyboard.ini open in a text editor on the side of your browser window so you can search what is linked up with what. If you're familiar with something like Vi, you'll likely love the way this works (although I'm not sure, I'm not really familiar with Vi).

I think it greatly improves efficiency, but it's certainly not suitable for the faint-hearted or inexperienced.

To get you started, Ctrl + N is new page, 4 is close page, and F2 is equivalent to what would take Ctrl + T, Shift + F2 in the default keyboard setup. This would be one reason that I thought speed dial was quite useless when it was introduced.

The last public versions of the entire setup can still be found http://my.opera.com/community/customize/setups/info/?id=2559

Installation Instructions: 

To install, simply click on the file, click OK on the warning message. Opera will then install and ask you to confirm the installation.  If you are not satisfied with the new setup you can change back to the old one by going to file->preferences->advanced->shortcuts and selecting the setup of your choice. It is also possible to delete or edit the new setup there.

If you want to look at the source of the file, open it in a new tab. Whether by middle-clicking or right-clinking and selecting "Open in new tab"
