Scrolling the browser on the Nokia 770
Personally I don't like the fact that the Browser Application uses the rocker (cursor keys) on the Nokia 770 to do link jumping. I prefer it to always scroll. (Note that it does scroll if you hold the keys down a little longer.) To me, always scrolling enables a one handed browsing experience, very comfortable.
To enable this behaviour, first quit any browser instances there are. Then edit ~/.opera/input.ini and relaunch the browser.
To do this easily, use X Terminal (installable from http://770.fs-security.com/xterm/), forget about vi, vim or nano-tiny:
/ $ cd
~ $ cp .opera/input.ini MyDocs/
Use the notes application to edit the input file you see from the 'Open...' dialog, change the relavant parts to this:
[Browser Widget]
Right = Scroll right
Left = Scroll left
Down = Scroll down
Up = Scroll up
Right_long = Scroll right
Left_long = Scroll left
Down_long = Scroll down
Up_long = Scroll up
Then copy the file back to its original place, so in still open X Terminal do this:
~ $ cp MyDocs/input.ini .opera/input.ini
Enjoy!
