# Mouse and Keyboard

## Mouse

You can program Opera to perform events when you move your mouse in particular ways, called "Mouse gestures".

1. Click on the configuration you wish you change
2. Find the operation you wish to edit by typing in Quickfind or clicking the list
3. Click and enter a sequence of mouse movements to associate with the event

You can also:

- Restore original mouse gestures for an event
- Create different configuration sets to choose between
- Disable mouse gestures altogether
- Swap the mouse buttons for the back and forth gestures (for left-handed people)
- Show tooltips when pointing to elements in Web pages and the Opera user interface

## Keyboard

You can program your keyboard by following the same steps as described for programming your mouse.

After using terminals, Emacs, and other UNIX programs, you get used to certain common UNIX keyboard shortcuts. Select the "Opera Standard for UNIX" keyboard setup to enable such commands.

Example: `Ctrl` + `A` is "Go to start of line".

Enable auto-completion to make recently entered Web addresses appear in a drop-down menu when typing in the address field.
