            @hamzaok This is asked for a long time. It looks like some magic with single Alt key (bad magic) that prevents developers from disabling weird Alt shortcut.

                There is a keyboard shortcut in a browser game that I play where the Alt key is very important to me. However, when I press that key Opera opens the menu. I already looked at the keyboard shortcuts in the settings but found nothing that could remove this. Can someone help me? (Incidentally, Google Chrome doesn’t have this problem, so don’t say the problem is with the game as it works perfectly on Chrome.)

                The image shows that there is no shortcut to open the main menu. And, I already tried to put any shortcut, but still kept opening the menu when I press Alt

                  @pand4k1ng It's not possible to disable the Alt key.

                    @leocg For a gamers browser, its actually bad design not to be allowed to assign every single key.

                      Hi.

                      I would like to know how to prevent ALT from opening the Menu tab, or if this is even possible. I work with affairs that require this key, but it's unusable, since it opens Opera GX's menu.

                      Is there a way to remove a default shortcut key?
