Orphaned Keyboard Shortcut - Please Fix

macak last edited by
Hello, I am having this issue as well. I am using Ctrl+Shift+1, Ctrl+Shift+2 and Ctrl+Shift+3 as a means to switch between languages in Windows 7 and Opera overrides those shortcuts as long as it is open (Ctrl+Shift+2 still working though). Tried deleting all shortcuts and disabling all extensions, nothing. It is somewhere inside the code as some user pointed out and it is definitely a bug and a very annoying one as it hampers my workflow. Hope developers fix it quickly, as it is really driving me nuts.

Opera Developer 64.0.3388.0 has now reserved Ctrl+Shift+Home and Ctrl+Shift+End. Ctrl+Shift+1 and Ctrl+Shift+3 are working properly again in this Opera version. Again, like before, there isn't any functionality in Opera (that I am aware of) that is triggered by these key combinations.
Opera Stable 62.0.3331.72 still reserves Ctrl+Shift+1 and Ctrl+Shift+3.

There is no good reason for Opera to be reserving any of these combinations outside of its own focus. What is the rationale for commandeering shortcuts which would have no value if you are not using the browser directly?
I love this browser, but it is causing me so much aggravation while attempting to work I'm looking at alternatives to use if this doesn't get resolved quickly.

Wow, well done. There is no way I will be able to use opera and loose possibility to select text to the beginning/end of file.... Looks like the switch to Opera didn't work out very well...

Here too, as of a few days Opera is stealing keys:
Ctrl-shift-backspace
Ctrl-shift-end
Ctrl-shift-home
Ctrl-shift-insert
Ctrl-shift-page-down
Ctrl-shift-page-upVery simple to verify:
download Nirsoft - HotKeysList from https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/hot_keys_list.html
launch HotKeysList with Opera not launched -> these keys don't appear in the global hotkeys list
launch Opera -> the keys are added to the global active hotkeys (press the refresh button to see the active keys list change immediately)
exit Opera -> the keys are removed from the global active hotkeysAnd I don't even know why it's even doing this (so that I can try disabling the behaviour). I suppose that it's something to do with mediakeys, but disabled "Hardware Media Key Handling" and "Experimental system keyboard lock" in opera flags but no change.
These keys are used all the time in other programs, so if this doesn't go away quick, it seems that after some 20 years I'll finally stop using Opera, something that even all the removed functionalities that happened when they moved to the new chrome based builds hadn't been able made me move.

@leocg , do you have any way of getting an update on whether this is being fixed or not?

I am also using Opera to browse the web, but I do not usually use these function keys so I do not notice. And the test time is still wrong ..!

Thank you very much! Fixed the error, very stable use!

Encountered this error together with Plastic SCM. Shortcut Ctrl+Shift+3 opens Branches which won't work when Opera is opened.
Its really frustrating, because I use this shortcut with automation scripts (using AutoIt) and this bug breaks my workflow.
Hope it will be fixed soon.

@stepm In your case, a workaround may be (re)starting Autoit after starting Opera. If Autoit register the global keys every time it starts (as does Opera) last to register wins (overwrites previous registration) and yo may have Ctrl-shift-3 back.
I'm just wondering now why for some users Opera is globally stealing Ctrl-Shift-1/2/3/... and in my case it's Ctrl-Shift-Home/End/...
If it's configurable (registry, ...) I could remap the keys to some I never use.

Should read better the replies in the forum. @stepm seems like if you upgrade to the last Opera version you change your medicine, You get Ctrl-Shift-3 back but loose some other keys.

There are a few bugs on this. Consider DNAWIZ-66222 to be the active one and the others duplicates. The issue is being analyzed at the moment.

@dsifuz The status for me is that I am once again able to use the shortcuts that are critical to me in two applications that I use all the time. I switched to another browser.

The problem is that the keyboard shortcuts of the built-in Video handler extension are made global. In Opera GX, we can change this, but in current Opera Stable, beta and Developer there is no such possibility. Developers are aware of this problem. Possible workaround for now: https://forums.opera.com/post/181232
