disable 'tab motion' animation

[filbo]

I use ClassicTabs to get tabs opened next to the current tab, and it works; so suppose I hit ctrl-T to create a new tab, while the current tab is somewhere near the beginning of the tab bar. Visually, what happens is: a new tab is created all the way on the right end of the tab bar; then quickly shuttles leftward until it reaches the intended place.

I can see in the code that you just call chrome.tabs.move(...). You aren't doing that animation, it's a property of Chromium or Opera's tabs.move code. But: maybe there's an option you can pass, or some trick, or some way of telling the browser that I just don't want that animation.

I'm not sure I can even explain why it bothers me. But the bottom line is, I want the illusion that when I create a new tab, it appears, 'poof!', in the desired place.

So if there's any way to finagle that, please do.

Unfortunately, no. Opera does not provide any way to change where tabs are created, so I force them to the right spot after they are created, and Opera also does not provide a way to disable the animation when a tab is moved.
