<![CDATA[Keyboard basic shortcut close tab/window vanished?]]>I am using several online services/apps where the keyboard shortcut cmd-w is really helpful. Therefore I did customized Opera keyboard shortcut in the past for: cmd-shift-d. It used to work pretty smoothly.

However now it is not working anymore and when I open Opera preferences > keyboard shortcuts: I can't find the custom basic shortcuts for "close tab". It just disappeared.

Solution tried:

  • I made a custom shortcut in Mac Keyboard preferences: it didn't override the cmd-w (it worked in Chrome though).
  • I used Better Touch Tool to indicate that in Opera cmd-w doesn't do anything. But I would like to have a shortcut to close tabs like cmd-shift-d.

Thanks in advance to anywone that could help !

By any chance would the Opera team consider to bring back this function - that was really useful btw - so we can have a more enjoyable customization of Opera ?

Best Continuity,

This feature was disabled lately so right now it's only default shortcut left I'm afraid.
