      Hi!
      How do I disable CTRL + SHIFT + V to start a google search?
      It should be 'paste without formatting'.
      I tried looking into keyboard shortcuts, but the keycombination isn't present there.
      I know I can rightclick, but I would prefer to use my keyboard, to use the internationally accepted key combination of CTRL + SHIFT + V, to paste text without formatting.
      Thanks!

        Ctrl + shift + v in the address field is for "Paste and go" or "Paste and search" depending on whether the text in the clipboard is a URL or not. That seems to be working fine in Opera.

        However, you can goto the URL opera://settings/keyboardShortcuts, type "paste" in the quick find field to find the shortcut for "Paste and go". You can then click the x for the ctrl + shift + v shortcut to delete it. You can then assign it another shortcut if you want.

        I don't see in option in shortcuts for "paste without formatting" for pasting into WYSIWYG editors. Maybe there's an extension that does that or maybe it works fine in a WYSIWYG editor.

          It is extremely bad idea to redefine the ctrl+shift+v shortcut as it is accepted key combination to paste text without formatting.
