Sometimes you might have come across websites that are too big for your monitor, especially if you are still using 15" monitors at 800x600 resolution (like me) or have a vista sidebar that eats into your desktop space. If you use Opera to browse the net then there is small trick to eliminate horizontal scrolling - just hit Ctrl + F11, and the page will be wrapped to fit the browser width. Sometimes it might lead to breaking of the page format, depending upon the page you are viewing, but atleast it gets rid of the horizontal scroll bar.

Happy surfing!! :)

Just use Ctrl+Left Arrow , Ctrl+Right Arrow to move .. I think this is a standard in Windows and Linux in any application.
