@op3000 Your source seems to be very old and mentioning a very old version of Opera back when it still used the Presto engine.

@leocg That's true, which is what makes the issue more annoying. Those features aren't even part of Opera anymore. Why would the browser claim a shortcut on a feature that doesn't exist...? ...but the browser still claims the shortcuts.

I confirmed this by closing programs, one at a time, and testing the shortcuts in Outlook. Once Opera (v62 and v63) is closed, the shortcuts work again.

I don't know if you're an Outlook or Windows user, but maybe you can reproduce.

So then Opera doesn't even have focus - you are using a standalone version of Outlook and not the online version - but is blocking shortcuts in another program? That sounds like a serious bug there. Report it at their bug tracker, then post the bug number you get assigned back here so we can check on it.

Nothing at all. The keyboard shortcut should execute the quick step. Instead, nothing happens.

I can still get the quick step to work by clicking on it (of course, or by first closing Opera and then using the keyboard shortcut). More information about what a quick step is is here.

@op3000 And what Opera has to do with it? Are you using Outlook Web?

@op3000 What is the behavior with other browsers?

At some point, a newer build of Opera started claiming keyboard shortcuts that are not actually tied to features. These shortcuts interfere with Microsoft Outlook. Opera is claiming Ctrl+Shift+1, Ctrl+Shift+2, Ctrl+Shift+3. I am not sure of the other shortcuts that are being claimed, there may be more.

Even though they are claimed they cannot be found in Opera's settings to be reassigned or disabled.

I am using Outlook 2016 with Opera 62 (stable) & 63 (developer) on Windows 10. Both browsers are causing the issue. I do not get a response from Opera if I enter Ctrl+Shift+1, for example, but a web search shows it used to be the "Manage view for search panel" shortcut. Source. I really appreciate a fix for this bug, because it only introduces an annoyance in a browser that is improving all the time.

I need to correct what is above. Ctrl+Shift+2 works normally. Only Ctrl+Shift+1 and Ctrl+Shift+3 are claimed by Opera.

@leocg Unfortunately, I do not have time to test the behavior with other browsers. I believe I've provided enough information for someone to replicate the issue. If you have access to a Windows 10 instance, you may be able to answer your own question.

Even with Opera closed, those shortcuts did nothing here.

@leocg Try following the steps in this article:
https://www.howtogeek.com/393846/a-guide-to-quick-steps-in-outlook/

Search the page for "shortcut keys" to see how to tie a quick step to a keyboard shortcut.

Even with all extensions disabled, I find that when Opera is open on Windows 10, the shortcuts Ctrl-Shift-1. Ctrl-Shift-3 and Ctrl-Shift-8 are disabled in other programs, including one where I use these shortcuts frequently. As soon as I close Opera the shortcuts work again. I believe that this has been introduced in the last month or so in an Opera update, and it is very annoying, because I have both applications open most of the time. Any way to suppress this?

I am experiencing this too. Its about 3 days that this is happening.
My current Opera version is Version:62.0.3331.43
It takes over
CTRL+SHIFT+1
CTRL+SHIFT+3
CTRL+SHIFT+8

I am experiencing this in my code editor PSPad. When Opera is opened, i cannot use the bookmarks (nothing happens). When i close Opera, all works fine.

Immediately after updating to Opera 62.0.3331.72 (on Windows 10) this began to affect me as well. When attempting to use Ctrl-Shift-8 in gMail or gDocs to add bullets, nothing happens. I routinely use Chrome for those two pages, but even loading them in Opera itself does not work. As soon as Opera is closed, the shortcut works as expected.

Has anyone at Opera reproduced this yet?
