Getting Started

Open Web pages

In the menu, go to Menu > Go to, then enter a Web address or a search term. As you type, Opera will suggest auto-completions based on bookmarks and previously visited addresses. You can navigate to the suggestions by using the joystick, then press it to activate the suggested address.

These are the basic functions you need to navigate:

To move an entire screen down, up, right, or left, you can also hold the pencil key while moving the joystick in the desired direction.

Fill in forms

Use the joystick to move between form elements. Push it to mark tick boxes and radio buttons, and to click "Submit" buttons.

When you get to a text field, you can just start typing, unless you are using a single-key shortcut set-up. If you are, press the joystick to activate text fields. Then you can use the keypad to enter text. You have to press the joystick again to deactivate the field before you can navigate to the next form field.

Password manager

When you first log in to a Web site, Opera will ask you if you want to save the username and password. If you accept, the log-in form will be pre-filled the next time you visit the page, and you can simply go to Menu > Log in. The password manager can be deactivated or protected with a master password in settings.

To manage your logins, go to the private data manager.

Bookmarks

Bookmark your current Web page by going to Menu > Tools > Add bookmark, or by pressing 7. To manage saved bookmarks:

  1. Go to Menu > Tools > Bookmarks or press 2 to display your bookmarks.
  2. Move the joystick up/down to highlight a bookmark.
  3. From the menu you can edit, delete, create, and move bookmarks and folders.

Multiple windows

Opera can have several windows open at any one time. When a second window is launched, "Windows" is added to the menu.

Go to the Windows menu to close the current window or switch to other windows.
