I’d like to suggest a feature that allows users to right-click on an empty area of the tab bar and select "Paste URL(s) as New Tab(s)". This would open one or more URLs (copied to the clipboard) in new tabs automatically.
Why This Feature Would Be Helpful:
Currently, opening multiple URLs from an external source (like email, chat, or documents) is tedious:
-
If URLs are not hyperlinked, I have to copy and paste each one into a new tab manually.
-
Even when they are clickable, I still need to open each individually via right-click > Open in browser.
This is especially inconvenient when dealing with lists of links in plain text—something I frequently encounter.
Example Scenario:
Say I receive five plain-text URLs in an email. To open them all in Opera, I currently have to:
-
Copy each URL individually.
-
Open a new tab for each one.
-
Paste each URL into the address bar.
With this proposed feature, I could just copy all five URLs at once, right-click on the tab bar, and instantly open them—one per new tab. Quick and efficient.
Bonus Suggestion (Optional Enhancement):
Opera could optionally scan the clipboard text for valid URLs, even if the user copied a mix of URLs and plain text (e.g., a message with embedded links).
Thanks for considering! This would be a small change with a big impact for power users and multitaskers.
