@slohnboy Not possible as far as I know. Also, F1 is kind of the universal key for help.

If you're on Windows, you can install AutoHotkey.

First, create the file fixopera.ahk in a text editor:

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0

; Disable F1 key only when Opera is the active window
#HotIf WinActive("ahk_exe opera.exe")
F1::return
#HotIf

Then, double-left-click the ahk file to run it. You'll then see an AutoHotkey icon in the systray that you can right-click and exit when you want to shut down the script.

The above works in my testing on Windows 11 while not interfering with F1 in other programs. But, I didn't test for a super long time. Something to try at least.
