<![CDATA[How to disable "snapshot" when selecting text?]]>Hi. When I select one or two words, the pop up is "Search | Copy". When I select three or more words the pop up becomes "Search | Copy | Snapshot". Is there a way to disable Snapshot, or to make it appear when I select one or two words? I've hunted through Settings but I can't find it. When I'm trying to work quickly it's annoying that the pop up changes 🙂 Thanks.

3 words selection looks more or less logical at least, but not the every time appearing 'snapshot'.
The best solution would be the optional 'snapshot' feature.

Since I posted the question Opera has changed the pop up so it's always "Search | Copy | Snapshot" no matter how many words, so the "Copy" appears in the same place again every time. Thanks anyway! 🙂

  • Open Opera GX settings.
  • In the "Search settings" box on the top right, type: "Enable the search pop-up when selecting text".
  • Enable the setting that pops up.
