Intro

Opera on Windows uses Ctrl as its primary modifier, with Alt handling page navigation (back/forward), window cycling, and Preferences (Alt+P).

Quit is Ctrl+Shift+X rather than a plain Ctrl+Q, and going back or forward through your browsing history uses Alt+Left/Right instead of Home/End style navigation.

Windows-specific shortcut notes

Modifier keys on Windows. Ctrl covers most actions: tabs, find, print, save, zoom, text editing. Alt covers page-history navigation, window cycling (Alt+Tab), and Preferences (Alt+P). The Windows logo key appears once, for minimizing a window (Win+M).

Quit and Preferences differ from Mac. Quit is Ctrl+Shift+X, not a straightforward Ctrl+Q. Preferences opens with Alt+P instead of the Command+Comma shortcut used on Mac.

Advanced keyboard shortcuts. Once enabled in Settings, the single-key zoom shortcuts on Windows use the 0 and 9 digit keys, while Mac uses the bare + and - keys instead.
