Disable shortcut to switch to the previous page

A Former User

Hi,

I am using opera on my MAC with touchpad. Most of the time, when I scroll or I want to select a text, opera accidentally reload the previous or the next page in my browser history. It is very frustrating since I instantly lost completely what I was doing on the current page. Whoever thought it is a good idea to add this feature by default has little understanding of HCI and is probably not using Opera themselves (on Mac)

How can I disable these shortcuts ? I prefer to use to bouton "Previous" and "Next" in the top of the browser if I want to move to another page.

I need my touchpad set up the way it is. I DO NOT want to change the configuration here:
System Preferences -> Trackpad -> Mouse Gestures -> Untick 'Swipe between pages'.

My "Shortcuts > Rocker Gestures" are off, I have removed all keyboard shortcuts for "back" and "forward".

How to do it via Opera settings?

Strange in that in Windows and Linux it requires the right mouse button. Not a Mac user myself, but it should be easy to find the setting - just search for the word "gestures".
