Do you know any hidden or so nice feature of Google (searching/Gmail/..)?

What feature do you value the most in the Opera web browser
(Windows, Linux and MacIntosh) ?
Please only one feature per post - you may post several
times.
If possible please also provide a description of the feature
for those who don't know what it is.
A reference to a (YouTube) video demonstrating the feature
would be a plus.

Hi, I am curious, do new compilers use some extra features built into new CPUs such as MMX SSE,3DNow! and so?

Does anyone know where I can go to get a list of the new TFS 2010 features.
NOTE: I need TFS 2010 features. Not Visual Studio 2010.
My boss is wondering why not just upgrade to Visual Studio 2010 and not worry about updating TFS from 2008 to 2010. (VS2010 is compatable with TFS 2008.)
Any input would be nice.
There are always features that would be useful in fringe scenarios, but for that very reason most people don't know them. I am asking for features that are not typically taught by the text books.
What are the ones that you know?
Inspired by the question series 'Hidden features of ...', I am curious to hear about your favorite Django tips or lesser known but useful features you know of.
Please, include only one tip per answer.
Add Django version requirements if there are any.
The "Hidden Features" series here on StackOverflow has generated some really interesting feedback. So what about my favorite IDE, Delphi? What are some hidden features there?
I'll start with one of my own:
You can invoke inline find by typing Ctrl+E, then typing your search term.
No C++ love when it comes to the "hidden features of" line of questions? Figured I would throw it out there. What are some of the hidden features of C++?
Inspired by the question series "Hidden features of ..", I am curious to hear about your favorite Grails tips or lesser known but useful features you know of.

I have learned quite a bit browsing through Hidden Features

similar for VB.NET.
So what are some of its hidden or lesser known features?

As a beginner I often found myself saying "This is so useless. How can this ever help me?" only to find out later on that it is essential and I was a fool.
The moral, however, tends to be that the C or the C++ language are perfect and they contain nothing of no-use to programmers.

In C++, features like exceptions impact your whole program: you can either disable them in your whole program, or you need to deal with them throughout your code. As a famous article on C++ Report puts it:

With the official release of VS 2010, is it safe for me to start using the partially-implemented C++0x feature set in my new code?
The features that are of interest to me right now are both implemented by VC++ 2010 and recent versions of GCC. These are the only two that I have to support.
