You could even use a window handler to only apply the remape to Opera.

Why is it not possible for a dev to remove this, given that many users struggle with it and not many make use of it?

However, Opera is supposed to be a cross-platform browser. I am on the verge of switching back to Firefox or Chrome just because of this annoying "shortcut".

Lime it disables while in game.

I play Krunker and it really gets in the way of the playerboard.
