does anyone know a way or utility that can make me use the navigation button to scroll down an entire page at a time (in a long email for instance) instead of jumping from link to link?
With Internet Explorer Mobile, as long as you don't have a link highlighted (box around it), you can press the SPACE key to flip to the next page.
If you have a link highlighted, pressing SPACE will open the link. Pretty stupid, considering the ENTER and OK buttons do the same.
If you don't want a link highlighted and want to use the SPACE to go to the next page, tap on a section of the page that doesn't have a link. The highlight will go away and you can continue page-scrolling.

Haven't you been buged by the thing that when you surf a web page you must press the down arrow key(on the hard keyboard) for thousands of times to get to the bottom?
How about when having a word document open and you want to scroll down? It gets me on my nerves to tap the down arrow key for hundreds of times to get to the bottom.
Evrey time you scroll a whatever page,you have to keep pressing that key forever.
I was searching on the forum and in my manual about autorepeat feature settings on the hard keyboard and found nothing.
Just wonder if this has been discused already and I was looking in the wrong place.If so please point me with a link.
I try to keep up with stuff that goes up on this forum but I can't.It's just overwhelming.So maybe I skipped this discussion somehow.
I use a web site that requires certain items to be selected from a menu. This menu is activated by right clicking a mouse on given links. I can navigate the site using my K-jam, I can highlight the links, but I cannot find a way to simulate the right click. The menus I accessing are java based.

You can try a tap and hold - which is usually the same as a long press of the D-Pad action button - on the links, as that is how you call up context menus in several applications.
I don't know if that will work, but it can't hurt to try.
Searched but didn't find anything on these two Opera questions:
1. In Opera on my TouchPro, there is a button to close the current tab (just to the right of the location field at the top of the window). On the HD2, I have to go to the tab menu to close a tab. What happened to the close tab button? I found it much more convenient...
2. The "big scroll bar" (I don't know what it's actually called, but the large button that pops up in certain applications to allow you to easily grab and drag the scroll bar with your finger) doesn't pop up in Opera. So if I'm at the end of a very long web page, I have to swipe 20 times to get back to the top since I can't "grab" the scroll bar with my finger. Is this how it works for everyone?
Thanks for any help you can offer!
I would like to know that, too.
The first one, I think, is a change from Opera 9.5 to 9.7.
A scrollbar would be nice!
Another annoying bug in Opera is whenever there is a Drop-down menu on a webpage with over 20+ options to select from there is no way to scroll within the drop-down menu.
To give an e.g. visit fring.com and from Download click the drop-down menu for Country or Brand... there is no way to scroll down or up. The entire page starts scrolling but specifically the menu portion doesn't.
This works very well on IE6.

1. if you click on the tab button (middle button), you get the option to close the tab.
2. scrolling works very fast for me
i want to know the solution for question 2 too! it is very annoying to swipe many times to the bottom!

Yes, but that's two taps - what I miss is the "close tab" button that was right there in the browser window.

Apparently this is not a high-priority issue for xda'ers... no love so far...
Is the big pop-out scroll button HTCScroll or is it part of WM6.5? Wondering if there is a registry tweak to enable it for certain applications.
having just checked through the opera preferences editor there's no options for either of these, shame....

Zoom the area where the scroll bar is in the drop down menu.
Just single tap and hold over the scroll bar for 2-3 seconds. Don't take your hand away. Slide your finger now and it will scroll the menu instead of the opera window as a whole.
I wonder I someone else agree that back button in IE is annoying or this is problem with me Consider following situation.
Case A:
Unlock phone -> Menu -> Games -> Some game
I have to do something else and want to stop game so I use back button:
Some game -> Games -> Menu. It is clear and looks logic.
Case B:
Unlock phone -> Menu -> IE -> page 1 -> page 2 -> page 3 etc.
Now I want to do something else but on page 3 there is something interesting so I would like to read later. So I use back button, but now it
page 3 -> page 2 -> page 1 -> Menu
After while I want to continue reading, but when I start IE I have got only page 1 (because IE is so fantastic so remember page when suspended)
I know I can use windows button to call top menu, but when I accidently push back button later over top menu I got IE again. For me this is crazy because over top menu I got something else, so my top menu is no a top menu.
Is there a trick to set some page (in my case called page 3) so I can use back button and after another try to start IE begin from page 3?
I think you're trying to do this right :
You're on page 3
Save page 3 for later and go back to page 1
Finish browsing page 1
Return to page 3?
I don't think that that's directly possible. But, you can bookmark page 3 go back as many times, use other apps then return to page 3 and delete the bookmark.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
The BACK button is definitely annoying when it comes to the browser, as there is no dedicated link or button in the browser for going back.
I would recommend a third party skin for IE mobile...like Browser Plus or Surf Cube ... both of which have back buttons...or a method of going back.
I am sure the UI for Internet Explorer on WP7 will be fixed in an upcoming update though...
When you are on page 3 open a new tab and then use the back button.
Now you get out of IE and when you go back you only have to change the tab and you're on page 3 again
If you swipe to either side under your favorites menu, you can access your browsing history and select the page you want there.
Start Button
When you're on page3 press start button (windows logo), this "ends" ie and let's you start a new app. After all open ie and you'll see...
For background, this came up in another forum. I was looking for recommendations to replace my use of Opera Mini after they did away with the feature where tapping the page URL once pops up an option to copy the URL to clipboard. It turns out that Chrome is supposed to have a similar feature if you long-press the URL. Like in this article:
https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/04/18/tip-chrome-consistently-selects-entire-url-long-press/
However, this does not work for me! Nothing happens when I long-press it. What's going on here? Is this what everyone with a Z5C experiences, or is it just me??
For me it gets selected only if i double tap, long pressing does nothing
When i long press it the Magnifying glass pops up
