Thanks for the suggestions, David and Oleg, but the point seems to
be: in Internet Explorer you need to press
ALT
A
<initial letter for a bookmark or bookmarks folder>
<initial letter for a bookmark>
and the desired page opens: that's 3 or (maximum) 4 keystrokes.
In Opera you need to press
F8 [to access the data field to type into]
<a few letters to distinguish your bookmark / bookmarks folder>
F2 (or Shift+F2) [to start loading the page]
How many keystrokes is that compared to IE? Time is a key factor in
browsing, and I'm wasting it whenever I need to access bookmarks in
Opera.
Yours,
