Seriously, there was hardly any day lately (when playing with my browser skin or reading this website), that I didn't learn a cool new trick, or two or three :) Mostly quite simple things, well-known to more experienced users, but a happy surprise for clueless me :P :D

E.g. this [b]tab-handling[/b], that they can be dragged around to switch positions, can be double- or middle-clicked to close, and something I just discovered today, quite by accident, drag-n-dropping a tab into the browser window reloads it! That is, the page of the "dragged" tab will open and reload in the current page where it is "dropped". May have read it before and forgotten again, no idea, but now will remember ;-)

Or one of the older but most important "discoveries", thanx to the FAQ or this forum, were the [b]Nicks for bookmarks and hotlist[/b], either for single bookmarks or whole folders, opening all contained bookmarks at once just by typing a freely chosen abbreviation into the address bar and - whhooosh!! Absolutely cool, and unlike opening a stored [b]session [/b] (which btw are also absolutely exciting), this nick-trick doesn't close the currently open pages, only adds the new ones.

Another "older" but most important discovery was [b]"Undo last closed"[/b] (in File and Sessions menus), use it all the time now when just having closed a page then thinking - oh sh*t, need it again! Now one click and it opens again :D
Btw, if anyone wants to add this directly on a [b]toolbar button[/b], this is the code for the[b] toolbar.cfg [/b]in the skin folder: sessions(Undo)
Or optionally with a right-click (or long-click) menu for sessions 8-)
	[quote]%ifplugin sessions
	Open Last Closed{ 
	sessions(Undo)|&Load Session
	[b]Re-open last closed page. Long-click to close current session and load another from the session list.[/b]
# (insert your pic here)
# (insert your pic here)
# (insert your pic here)	
}
	%endif
[/quote]

And a few days ago I learned [b]how to search for K-Meleon extensions[/b] (add-ons) with google, meaning in the two new big archives, and adding those searches even to the menu on the search-button: 
Edit/Preferences (F2)/Finding Websites, fourth and second tab :) Add:
K-Meleon Extensions Sourceforge (Google search)
[i]www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site:kmext.sourceforge.net/%20[/i]
K-Meleon Extensions Geckozone (Google search)
[i]www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site:extensions.geckozone.org/%20k-meleon%20[/i]

Oh, and another exciting "find" was the [b]Translation[/b] in the Tools-menu, already included in newer K-Meleon versions :D If anyone feels like adding this directly on a button, use something like this: rebarmenu(&Translation)|En&coding
Oh, forgot: To translate not a whole page, but just a [b]highlighted part of a page[/b], just highlight and then right-click, now the translation is in the context-menu! This is quicker of course, and also works with text from closed forums. It will open in a new window, and under the translated text is a button to swap the two languages, to type own text now :-)
