      Thank you but it does not really give me an idea as to how to instruct Opera to NOT DO anything when i press the "-" key (apart from writing a hyphen). In the Preferences file I could not find anything about the "-" key; the only key reference is
      {
      "Keybindings": {
      "Settings": {
      "AdvancedEnabled": false
      }

        In the meantime, I just wanted to comment on a Facebook post with a "+" sign in my comment and of course it also zoomed. Grrr.

          Thats interesting. When I have a text box active - and + only type, not zoom. Or is this some keyboard shortcut built into Facebook? I don't use the site so I wouldn't know otherwise.

            I just want to zoom ONLY with Ctrl- and Ctrl+ and not with - and +, pages and text boxes notwithstanding.

              I can confirm that I have only seen this on Facebook. Textboxes on Youtube, Tweetdeck, other forum software and what other few pages I can quickly check all work just fine. Including this forum.

              • The ",", "." and "/" keys pull up the in-page search.
              • 6, 7, 8 change the zoom.
              • "z" tries to go back a page.
              • probably all of Opera's keyboard shortcuts are affected (I have "Advanced Keyboard Shortcuts" enabled).

              Whatever JS Facebook is running is making Opera think the cursor is not in a textbox.

              If it isn't already, this should be a Priority 1 "Site Unusable" bug. And it's out here because of your damn auto-update.

                "Whatever JS Facebook is running is making Opera think the cursor is not in a textbox."

                That is the point. And the issue is there even if "Advanced Keyboard Shortcuts" are not enabled but then it is just the "-" and "+" keys.

                    I just went to Facebook, clicked in the textbox to update my status. The "-" and the "+" keys did not zoom but did print the symbol into the textbox as expected. I am on Opera 27 with Advanced Keyboard Shortcuts enabled.
