<p dir="auto">The ALT+D shortcut select the address bar. But when it is already selected then the ALT+D combo will open the Opera menu.<br />
Do some users have the same problem?</p>
<p dir="auto">I unwillingly open this Opera menu several times a day because I don't notice the address bar being already selected.<br />
Like when I open a new tab (CTRL+T) sometimes I press ALT+D but address bar was already selected &gt; Opera menu pops up<br />
Sometimes I close a tab (CTRL+W or CTRL+F4) and use ALT+D to enter a new url but the address bar was already selected &gt; Opera menu pops up.<br />
Sometimes I mistype a URL and instead of correcting it I prefer to retype the whole thing. I could CTRL+A or CTRL+L to select it again and retype it but my finger have already pressed ALT+D and guess what, Opera's menu has already popped.</p>
<p dir="auto">After several tries, it seems to be due to the ALT + D sequence</p>
<p dir="auto">By example when address bar is selected :</p>
<ul>
<li>press ALT, press D, release D, release ALT =&gt; no Opera menu</li>
<li>press ALT, press D, release D and ALT at the same time =&gt; no Opera menu</li>
<li>press ALT, press D, relase ALT, release D =&gt; Opera menu<br />
Unfortunatelly for me, I always do the 3rd one, maybe a bad habit, I don't know.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">I tried it in Firefox (latest one 61.0.2), you can ALT+D all you want in every sequence you want, it will keep selecting the address bar and not pop the menu up.</p>
<p dir="auto">I know that you can use CTRL+L to select the address bar but ALT+D is faster to type because you don't have to move your hand. Between work and home I use IE, Firefox, Chrome and Opera and only the latter have this weird behavior.</p>
