A few months ago I wanted to know how to refresh all tabs and spell check with opera... Now I know how and its really simple. And I want to share them with you because at least I was pointed in the right direction on tech forums, instead of having the answers spread out in front of me.
Refreshing all Tabs with Opera
If ctrl + f5 is not working by default, then that means you are running a keyboard config by default that doesn't have refresh all tabs in it. What you need to do is go to...
Tools-> preferences ->Shortcuts (on the side) -> Enable single key shortcuts
This should make ctrl + f5 work for you. You can edit it by going into the Opera 9.2 and pressing edit on the side. I made mine ctrl +alt+ f5. You can find the thing to edit quickly by typing reload all tabs at the top of the edit window.
Make sure you don't use "+"
Spell check for Opera
This is the only thing about Opera that ticks me off big time. No in-text spell check.... kind of gay but the many many many things that Opera has going for it makes up for this one thing imo. You need to use a script called Aspell.
First, you go here
GNU Aspell (Win32 version)
Download the full installer first, and install it first.
Then click on the link for the language you want, most likely English, and then install that.
Once those two are installed, exit out of opera and then reopen opera.
Go to a text box, and type in something like "dawt?", then right click and click check spelling, It will prompt you to either ignore, replace, or learn from the word and provide you with solutions. If this happens, then congratulations! You can now spell
I am still researching and asking around for a way to spell check like with firefox. I will make sure to let you guys know if I find anything. But hopefully this post will be useful to those who want to give Opera a try but NEED these features. I know i do

p.s. I used Aspell like 10 times when I wrote this, LOL!
