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.
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.

Great. Found the Shortcuts under Advanced... – anon Oct 14 '09 at 12:43
