   Another variant, arguably a more useful one, is to assign “Paste and Go” to the middle click. Since it also works with the address bar and the search field, all you have to do is copy the address you want to go to or the text you want to search for, and then do a middle click into the appropriate field. No need to press “Enter” to finish.

   in linux (which this tip is for), middle clicking anywhere on a page, acts as paste and go, hence why tamil is giving us this tip of how we can make middle click also paste text into textareas as well as doing paste and go.

   @Rhonnysparks,

   Same gesture can do different actions. I have gesture down for spell check in edit widget section. Gesture down will spell check when I do it in text area and it will open open new tab when I do it outside text area.

   Damn, sounds cool. Why doesn’t that work in Windows?

   Make sure you have not included any space between Button & 3.

   I’m using it heavily in KDE (not only in Opera). I was working by default.

   it probably works by default in KDE based environments due to the Klipper ubertool

    using Opera 9.20 on FreeBSD

    This is one of the features I hate from opera. I suddenly miss the link pressing the middle bottom and opera changes the site I’m looking and opens google searching a selected phrase.

    I hate mouse gestures, since mouse unwanted events suddenly are being calls when you didn’t intended it.
