Opera Help and Support

Contacts

This panel lists your contacts. This panel is hidden by default and will appear only after you have created at least one e-mail, news, or chat account. Type in the name of the contact in the "Quick find" field, and Opera will start matching your search entry as you type. Click on the name of a contact to to view all your e-mail correspondence with that contact. Right-click on the contact and select "Properties" to view or change details, such as name, e-mail address, chat nickname, home page, notes or even an image of that contact.

History

The History panel lists the Web pages you have visited lately. Forgot the URL to that page you saw yesterday? Just go here and look or search for it; the "Quick find" feature makes searches highly efficient. Click on any of the pages in the history to go to them. You can change how many pages (if any) you want Opera to remember, by going to Tools > Preferences > Advanced > History. If you want to delete addresses from the History list, just select them and press Delete.

Note that you can access the full History window, which has times and dates for the pages as well, by pressing Ctrl+Alt+H or by going to Tools > History.

Transfers

When you download a file, it will appear in the Transfers panel. You can select the file you are downloading there, and choose to stop, resume or retransfer the download. At the bottom part of the panel, you can see information about the download speed, size of the file, and where you are downloading from.

To access the full Transfers page, press Ctrl+Alt+T or go to Tools > Transfers.

Links

The Links panel displays all the links in your current page. To go to any of the links in that page, click on the links in the panel (or of course click on the link in the page itself). Use the "Quick find" feature to quickly locate particular links or linked file types from the document. If you click on the "Lock" button, the Links panel will keep the links currently in the panel even if you go to another page. Click "Lock" again to change this.

To access the links listing as a page, press Ctrl+Alt+L or go to Tools > Links.
