Using tab key to select URL in address bar?

Question

I use Firefox 3.x for much of my browsing and I constantly use the tab key (easy to hit) to select from my address history. When I use Opera, tab takes me to the Search box, which of course makes perfect sense. I could try to undo years of training and use down-arrow but first I thought that I see if Opera is secretly configurable.

Answer 1

In Opera:

• choose Tools from the menu
• and then Preferences.
• Now goto Shortcuts and
• highlight your current keyboard setup in the lower box.
• Next, click on Edit....
• Now unfold the Advanced item (last one in the list)
• and then the Address dropdown Widget item (again the last one).
• Now find the entry for "Next item"
• and double-click on the right part where it should currently say "Down".
• Replace "Down" with "Tab" and you're set.
