A great Opera tip for my friends/family is press/hold the REWIND button (not the Back button)...and go back through your history by jumping web sites, not just individual pages. (Another great feature is the FAST-FORWARD button, unique to Opera also.) I'm still blown away that more people haven't discovered Opera's usefulness...and Opera v10 just added on to that list -- oh, and the Stop/Reload/Go buttons were already integrated YEARS ago, if you're waiting breathlessly for that in your current browser. Check out Opera and play with it for a few days and you'll see what I mean. ;) Very useful Opera tip for a majority of (any) browser users still don’t know about it.

Click and hold the forward button (?or the other forward thingy?) and you'll get a list of 'earlier' visited pages that you have 'backed' from for that tab. Yeah, I know the explanations sounds strange, but they are more accurate. I think they should do what everyone else does. Allow you to right-click the forward/backward buttons to get a partial history listing for that tab centered at the current location in the history. Also, it makes no sense to have the same menu for both the regular back/forward buttons as the alternate ones :-/ On the topic of traversing history, you can use shift+scroll-wheel or alt+arrow keys to do that. Well, except for shift+scroll-wheel if you're using Opera and your current location is the dial. Found another shortcut for Opera by accident, shift+middle-click will give you the settings pane for the middle-click.

I don't know if it's because of some extension I might have, but I doubt it, since I haven't installed anything that's supposed to add this: CTRL + SHIFT + ~ (the upper left key of the main key body on the keyboard, for me, ptPT keyboard, it's a \ ) works as a Reload all tabs in this site.
