Now i know its as simple as "Just let go of the alt key when you switch windows" My brain and fingers don't work well together. I end up holding the alt button just a second too long and i click the tab i want to view and poof its gone. Its not normally an issue, except when im watching a video and i have to reopen the tab, then find where i was in the video.

This is an opera shortcut, it doesnt work on chrome, firefox, or edge. If you even tried to help you would of tried or googled if you even could do it on other browsers, or came across this post (https://forums.opera.com/topic/28906/closing-tab-using-shift-click) from your very own forum. There are other post like that scattered throughout here from the past years, but nobody seems to know a real fix.

There isn't a way to disable that feature, which I'm not sure if it's an Opera thing.

In the settings under shortcuts there is no option to change that hotkey. Is there another workaround to disabling that feature?
