How can I add more options to Opera's quicklist such as: new tab, new private tab, new window, mail, etc?
2 Answers
Basically the same way as shown in this question: How do I add a static quicklist that opens a web page?
Just change the Exec=
lines for the quicklist items (running opera --help
in a terminal will get you the commands you can use).
Here's how the desktop file (/usr/share/applications/opera-browser.desktop
) would look like when adding a private tab quicklist item:
...
X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts=PrivateTab
[PrivateTab Shortcut Group]
Name=Open a new private tab
Exec=opera -newprivatetab
TargetEnvironment=Unity
How-to:
1) Open a terminal and enter the following:
gedit ~/.local/share/applications/opera-browser.desktop
2) At the bottom of the file, add the following lines:
X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts=NewTab;NewPrivateTab;NewWindow;Mail;
[NewTab Shortcut Group]
Name=New Tab
Exec=opera -newtab
TargetEnvironment=Unity
[NewPrivateTab Shortcut Group]
Name=New Private Tab
Exec=opera -newprivatetab
TargetEnvironment=Unity
[NewWindow Shortcut Group]
Name=New Window
Exec=opera -newwindow
TargetEnvironment=Unity
[Mail Shortcut Group]
Name=Mail
Exec=opera -mail
TargetEnvironment=Unity
3) Save and close Gedit.
4) Add the icon to your launcher if it is not already and your quicklists should now be working.
Tips:
You can also make Mail open a new tab at a specific address if you want by replacing its Exec command to be (for example):
Exec=opera -newtab "http://www.gmail.com/"
