      Use the Run command (default key is F5) and then enter something like this:

      opera "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

      You may need to put the command to start Opera where the word "opera" appears above.  For example:

      "C:\Program Files\Opera\Opera902W.exe"  "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

      You might need to do some experimenting by clicking the "Run!" button on the dialog.  When it works, click the "Save..." button and give it a name like "Launch in Opera" and a hotkey combination to launch it.  --Joel

        I got it to work with your reply.
        E:\Opera\Opera.exe "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" did the trick.

        Only weird thing is that when I use the hotkey combination (ctrl+shift+o in my case) it just launches a new page in opera, not the file.

      You probably have store already this shortcut with a bad command you should have several command in run menu, so you need to check and edit the file shortcuts.xml in your application data/notepad++ directory.
