Opera Internal Action Command List

Opera's internal actions are used to create CustomButtons, define the keyboard shortcuts, define mouse gestures and create all menus. All customization and also the Opera defaults are stored as actions in INI files.
Shown here are all action items as found in V8.0 configuration dialog. Please fill in information on syntax, usage patterns or examples as you see fit.

Please note also the AllActionsList and the commented AllActionsListPlus (both for v9.x)

Syntax

A general syntax for a single command:

Action, property1, property2, label, icon

Example

Show popup menu, "Browser Menu Bar", , , "Menu"

Show popup menu is the action, "Browser Menu Bar" is the property to pass to the command and "Menu" is an icon defined in a skin file. Note that all the comma delimiters are entered even if that portion is blank.

Combining Actions: Alternative

| is similar to an OR operator: if the first action doesn't work, then the second will be used instead. In the following example Opera cannot execute 'Enter Fullscreen' if it already is fullscreen. More than two actions can be used, too:

Enter fullscreen | Leave fullscreen

Combining Actions: Conjunction

& is the concatenation operator, allowing you to string several commands to perform in order. Note that the actions are taken almost simultanously, not one by one so don't rely on one command finishing before the other starts:

Scroll down & Scroll down & Scroll down

Combining Actions: Extra Dropdown

+ shows a small arrow which is normally used to add a dropdown menu. However, that small arrow can be used with any action:

Rewind + Show popup menu, "Internal Rewind History"
Save document As,,,"Save" + Save document with images as

Combining Actions: Cycler

> is a command cycler introduced in V7.5 — it cycles from one command to the next through the list, and guarantees the name/icon can change at each state:

Set alignment, "document view toolbar", 0, "Show" > Set alignment, "document view toolbar", 6, "Hide"

Combining Actions: Icon Placement

When you make multiple action commands, you may wish to add an icon or title. The icon must then be appended to the first command:

Copy image,,,,"Window Document Icon" & Execute program, "i_view32.exe", "/clippaste"

You can also pass selected or predefined text, the URL or the cache file path to a command, see IniFileVariables for more information.

Range go to line start — marks the letters and phrases from the current location of the text cursor, over to the left side of the line of letters.
Range go to start
Range next character — marks only one character at a time, moving the text cursor to the right.
Range next item
Range next line — marks a whole line of text, moving your cursor down in the field.
Range next word — shades over one word, moving towards the right side of the text area.
Range page down — measures the vertical breadth of the text area, and highlights this number of lines, as it moves the text cursor downwards.

Work offline — Tells Opera to look first for webpages within it's cache, and then prompt you, if it has to go looking for something on the world wide web. It prevents any attempt to access the internet, which (at least on windows systems ;-) prevents the system to try to open a dial-up connection.
Work online — Opera will go about business as usual, immediately traipsing across the internet to find webpages.
