<![CDATA[Closing tab using shift+click]]>In the latest version of opera closing an open tab using mouse has changed to alt+click instead of shift+click.
There's a way to change back to shift+click?
I don't see any option in keyboard shortcuts...

But, I did look for a bit.

It's really a shame that we can't change back or at least reconfigure the shortcut 😕

launcher.exe --with-feature:multiple-tab-selection=off

, which is what Opera 52 does when the --multple-tab-selection flag is disabled.

I also tried:

launcher.exe --with-feature:multiple-tab-selection=2

and

launcher.exe --multiple-tab-selection=2

Also tried 0, 1 and -1.

I also tried editing the Local State file to add multiple-tab-selection=2 under browser/flags.

No go.

It's been that way since Opera 52. That's why alt has to be used instead. You use to be able to disable multiple tag select to get shift + click back to closing tabs, but the flag opera://flags/#multiple-tab-selection is missing and I don't see a setting in opera://settings to disable tab selection (not even if you disable opera://flags/#new-md-settings to use the old opera://settings).
