shortcut to bring opera from tray?

[urlwolf]

Hi,

I have returned from FF to Opera after a couple of months. It's ok, I learned a few tricks to make my life easier in opera (which is overall faster and more robust, no addin interaction, etc).

But I miss to have a one-key shortcut to bring opera to focus, even if it's on the tray.
AHK doesn't work because it seems that opera doesn't work under the standard way of calling windows by title.

PS tray doesn't seem to be able to talk to opera when in the tray.

Anyone as any workaround?
Thanks

also, is there a way to go to tab 1 with only one keypress (that's the tab that I normally use for gmail)

Can you relaunch Opera (i.e. set it to only open one instance)? Or doesn't that work either?

[urlwolf]

you mean killing opera and relaunching it again? It loads fast compared to any other browser, but not that fast

I don't think I understand what you mean.

[TucknDar]

No, I don't mean killing it. I mean, if you launch Opera through hotkey (i.e. WIN+O or something) then if it's minimized to tray, will this hotkey bring running instance of Opera to front instead of launching another instance?

Oh, and congrats on returning to Opera Wise choice, my friend, wise choice

Here is an Ahk hack that does exactly what I want. As you see it's not trivial.

You can also do what you want with PowerPro http://powerpro.webeddie.com/.

You will need to create a PowerPro script that contains:

[Select]

Local name = ?/"* - Opera"/
Local name2 = ?/"Opera"/
Local exec = "c:/Your Path/Opera/Opera.exe"

;; watch out for line wrap of the following condition
*if (eval("activewindow"++name)) or (eval("activewindow"++ name2))do
do("*window traymin ","active")
*elseif ( eval( "anywindow " ++ name ) ) do
do("*window show ",name)
*else
do(exec,"")
*endif

Then create a hotkey to Opera from PowerPro and call this script.

Hopefully this will be useful to someone.

Nomadin,

Do you need to enable PowerPro's tray support, which isn't the default?
