-I've been using the Chromuim Opera for a long time, after Chrome's design went unbearably ugly around v32 (IIRC Opera stable channel was on v19 when I switched, which was released on January 28, 2014). From then on, Opera's [advanced keyboard shortcuts](http://help.opera.com/opera/Mac/1583/en/fasterBrowsing.html#advanced) has become an integral part of my browsing habit. In particular, the following are especially handy for me:
-
-* `1`: Cycle left through tabs;
-* `2`: Cycle right through tabs;
-* `/`: Find on page;
-* `Z`: Go back one page;
-* `X`: Go forward one page;
-* `0`: Zoom in;
-* `9`: Zoom out;
-* `6`: Reset zoom to 100%.

-Lately, with the Yosemite release, Safari has become a much more competitive browser. I won't say why, and I admit that it has major missing features that still prevents it from becoming my default ā€” but I have to say Iā€™m gradually moving more of more of my browsing, especially reading, to Safari. It would be nice if I could carry my power user shortcuts with me. Fortunately, this is possible. Just modify the plist in the following way:
-
-```bash
-#!/usr/bin/env bash
-defaults write com.apple.Safari NSUserKeyEquivalents '{
-"Actual Size"="6";
-"Back"="z";
-"Find..."="/";
-"Forward"="x";
-"Show Previous Tab"="1";
-"Show Next Tab"="2";
-"Zoom In"="0";
-"Zoom Out"="9";
-}'
-```
-
-Relaunch Safari. You are all set! Enjoy the ultrafast single key navigating experience. To reset,
-
-```bash
-defaults delete com.apple.Safari NSUserKeyEquivalents
-```

-There's one caveat to this approach ā€” unlike in Opera, where the default layman shortcuts (e.g., āŒ˜F) are still available when advanced keyboard shorts are enabled, in Safari they are simply overwritten. This is annoying when the web page or web app binds certain keys, especially `/` to its own search bar (a notable example being google.com). In that case I have to admit defeat and click on the menu bar item, which takes a hundred times as long as a single `/` keystroke.
