    Does anybody know if there is a way? None of the "quick press" power button options do exactly what I want (i.e. to do what sliding the cover on does).

    An unrelated question I've thought of while I'm here - is there a way to make the browser remember the "show toolbar" and "view optimised" options? I have to set them as I want them each time I run it (and sometimes even after visiting a new page).

    Thanks in advance,
    Andy

    Just wait one minute or something like that. I think it does the same as the cover does.

    I think it used to be possible in previous versions, but not in the latest (it automatically retained previous options). But I think the only solution is to edit the config file. It is located in ~/.opera/input.ini

    You could probably do it with a tiny magnet, along the edge. But if your magnet was too strong, it might erase the memory. I don't recommend this. Just set your timeout to a lesser value.

    Me thinks it would have to be a very strong magnet indeed -- at least strong enough to reach back to the 60's when magnetic core memory was still around...

    Note that the inactivity time-out is not the same as putting the cover on - it doesn't turn off the wifi/bluetooth radios, for example. As far as I know, there is no way to duplicate the effect of putting the cover on, except maybe by writing a custom application that sets the hardware state?
