Orphaned Keyboard Shortcut - Please Fix

@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.

Opera Developer 64.0.3388.0 has now reserved Ctrl+Shift+Home and Ctrl+Shift+End.
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...
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.

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

Re: Orphaned Keyboard Shortcut - Please Fix
I notice the same thing pointed out in an earlier thread. (The interface of this forum is rather opaque. I"m not sure if this is going to turn up as a separate thread or an answer to a previous message, although I did select one; but the interface insists I create a new subject, for some reason.)
I'm using Opera 63.0.3368.71. It hijacks the following keyboard combinations:
==================================================
Hot Key : Ctrl+Shift+Delete
Alt :
Ctrl : *
Shift : *
Key : Delete==================================================
Hot Key : Ctrl+Shift+End
Alt :
Ctrl : *
Shift : *
Key : End==================================================
Hot Key : Ctrl+Shift+Home
Alt :
Ctrl : *
Shift : *
Key : Home==================================================
Hot Key : Ctrl+Shift+Insert
Alt :
Ctrl : *
Shift : *
Key : Insert==================================================
Hot Key : Ctrl+Shift+Page Down
Alt :
Ctrl : *
Shift : *
Key : Page Down==================================================
Hot Key : Ctrl+Shift+Page Up
Alt :
Ctrl : *
Shift : *
Key : Page UpAll of these are no longer functional in any other Windows programme. In Opera, they don't do anything either. But they're definitely being hijacked by Opera: when Opera is active, these keyboard combinations no longer work. If Opera is not active, they work again.
In a slightly earlier version of Opera, the same thing happened with the keyboard combination CTRL+SHIFT +8. That seems to have been remedied. But having these hijacked is equally problematic: SHIFT+CTRL+END/HOME is something I use A LOT to select text in word processors.
So Opera has become unusable for me.

In that thread, there's a link to another thread that has a workaround.
