      I'm used to press ctrl + enter in order to send form data without clicking the send button.
      Since version 21, ctrl + enter will refresh the page instead of submit the form.

      Is there a setting where i can control the behavior of ctrl + enter in opera?

      edit:
      ctrl + enter works with other browsers, so it seems it's an opera issue.
      Even on this very forum will ctrl + enter pressed while i'm in the "edit discussion" mode reload the page instead of sending the data(And with this loose all data i've entered).

        Left Ctrl + Enter opens find in page here. However it does nothing on some pages.

          In Opera 12, Ctrl+Enter was the same as the Wand (login) button ... not sure about other uses though.

            Is there a way to see how keyboard shortcuts are configured in opera next?

              Hi Suntsu42, you can find the default key bindings in the "opera.pak" file, which is located in the Opera's root subdir - in the latest Opera Next, it is located in the "21.0.1432.39" subdirectory.

                Hi I33t4opera,

                I found the "Keybindings" in opera.pak, but it seems this combination is not bound to what i would expect.
                The following binding is set: "PastePassword": ["Enter+Ctrl"],

                But one question:
                If you're entering text right here in this forum, and then press "CTRL + Enter", does it save the entered text or does it refresh the page?
                On my opera, it only refreshes the page.

                  I have the same problem. Also "ctrl+backspace" does not delete last typed word, but makes browser go to previous page.

                    Hi Fix-kun, to get rid of this issue, you can simply remap the keyboard shortcut for the "ParentDirectory" "Ctrl+Shift+Backspace" as follows:

                    1. Close the Opera, and go to the Opera's profile (find the path in: O-Menu>About Opera>Paths>Profile),
                    2. Open the "Preferences" file in your text editor, and edit it as below:
                    {
                       "Keybindings": {
                          "Basic": {
                             "ParentDirectory": [ "Ctrl+Shift+Backspace" ]
                          },
                          "Settings": {
                             "AdvancedEnabled": true
                          }
                       },
                    
                    1. Save the changes, relaunch the Opera.
