Tips and Tricks

Faster navigation

Keypad shortcuts

For faster access to features, use keypad shortcuts rather than the menus.

Jump

Press 3 for Opera to skip directly from the top of the page to the beginning of the main content. Pressing it again will take you to the bottom of the page, and a third press will cycle back to the top.

Zoom

To zoom in on a page, go to Menu > Display > Zoom, or press 0.

Full-screen mode

Opera's default display reserves some space for a title bar at the top of the screen and menu options at the bottom.

Full-screen mode lets you use the entire screen for browsing. To enable it, either:

  1. Press *
  2. Go to Menu > Display > Full screen

Fit to screen

Opera's default display reformats Web pages so that they fit on the screen of your mobile phone and do not require sideways scrolling.

If you want to see the page without reformatting, either:

  1. Press #
  2. Go to Menu > Display > Fit to screen off

Bookmarks

The fastest way of saving a bookmark for a page you are visiting, is by pressing 7. Later, you can access it from the bookmarks list (press 2 to activate).

Note that Opera also uses your bookmarks list as basis when suggesting auto-completions for the Web address field.

Send to a friend

When an image is focused, you can go to Menu > Image to save the image to your phone, or send it to a friend as an MMS.

You can also send the link of a page you are visiting, by going to Menu > Tools > Send address as. Links can be sent as SMS, MMS, or as e-mail messages.

Private data

If you have concerns about browsing data being stored on your phone, for example if you share your phone with others, go to Menu > Tools > Delete private data.

While in the private data manager, go to Menu > Manage logins to view and delete logins stored by the password manager.
