This little utility I've been messing with can fix your Preferences file for you. Just place the exe next to the Preferences file (while Opera is closed) and double-left-click it, and you're done. There's a readme.txt file for more details.

You are awesome. Where's the tip jar? Or Opera should be paying you at least. Thanks!

No I haven't yet but I am going to. I'm actually going to follow your instructions above to fix it using JSONedit first though.
Just saying I appreciate the effort.

This is driving me nuts!
As of 63.0.3368.71, when you start Opera the standard Ctrl+Shift+Home & Ctrl+Shift+End Windows shortcuts (to select everything until the start or end of text) stop working everywhere in Windows while Opera is running. Just to be sure, I confirmed that once Opera has exited those 2 shortcuts work again. It took me a while to figure it out, so it may have started earlier than 63.0.3368.71 but it definitely happens with that version. It's like Opera takes over those 2 shortcuts but doesn't do anything with it. I tried looking for them in the Opera settings and didn't find anything either.
Tried to disable all my extensions, same result.
Hi!
Just to add information...
I am a linux user and I have the same problem.
My distro linux is Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon 64 bits and the Opera version is "65.0.3467.38".
After read this post, I decide to add this message and wait for the fix to this situation.
Thanks for your attention at this situation.

So if I uninstall Opera and reinstall it, it will be fixed? I don't really have the time to figure out editing the preferences file or whatever.

Their message isn't empty, they're quoting a question to bump this thread because Opera still breaks critical functionality throughout Windows while open.

@mikeoshay What is something that should not be done. Posts should have its authors own words.

The quoted message was old and had already been answered, so to me that didn't make sense.

Fair enough, different forums have their own rules regarding this, not my place to barge in and start questioning yours.

You're right, that specific question was more directly answered than I thought. It was late and I was still frustrated by this after months. It took me quite a while to figure out the issue was caused by Opera, there are people who had the problematic update installed and will never figure it out.

@burnout426 Yes... Now it seems to be working fine on Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon.
