Opera Tips & Tricks: Keyboard swap for Opera Mini

September 13, 2010 · by Aleksander Aas

This round of Opera Tips and Tricks is brought to you from IBC. IBC is a huge conference showcasing the latest in content delivery. It's mostly a place for companies to meet, showcase their latest technology and have long meetings. It is open for everyone though, and as always we love it when Opera users drop by our stand. Fortunately we have Espen in Amsterdam providing coverage.

At IBC someone asked if it was possible to change Opera Mini to use the native keyboard on his device. This is possible on some devices, let's take a look at how:

Go to Settings by clicking the wrench icon.
Go to Advanced.
Choose Opera Keyboard.
Change it to Never.

You will now have your default device keyboard in Opera Mini!

If you come across Opera on any event, be sure to drop by and say hi. We love to meet our users, and we always do our best to listen and help out!

Opera Keyboard
I guess its only on touch screen and qwerty based phones. No bother for numeric keypad phones like mine.
