      I can't seem to figure out what the cause might be, but nothing happens whenever I press ctrl F or F3; it used to cause a popup for page-wide text search to appear. ctrl F/F3 text search in other browsers like MS Edge & Chrome.
      Is there some setting I may have changed by accident?

      Update stream:Early Access
      Core:133.0.5932.56
      System:Windows 11 64-bit
      Chromium version:149.0.7827.197

        @officernickwilde I have the same issue on my browser. Hopefully it's just a bug in the Early Access version and gets fixed soon.

          @officernickwilde It doesn't sound like you've changed a setting accidentally, especially if Ctrl + F and F3 still work correctly in Chrome and Edge. Since you're using the Early Access build, this is more likely to be a browser-specific bug or a conflict with an extension.

          I'd recommend trying the following:

          Test whether Find in Page works from the browser menu.
          Open a Private/Incognito window and check if the shortcuts work there.
          Temporarily disable any extensions that might override keyboard shortcuts.
          If the issue persists, consider updating to the latest Early Access build or switching to the Stable version to see if it's resolved.

          If none of these steps help, it's probably worth reporting it as a bug since it appears to be specific to the Early Access version.

            One user on Reddit said that it was due to one of his localization extensions. See https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/1uz074h/comment/oy7sn6o/ for more info.

              @burnout426 Seems that was my issue as well, in my case "Chrome remote Desktop" disabled the hotkey
