<![CDATA[Ctrl + Enter search not working]]>Windows 11
Lvl 7 122.0.5643.52

This has been going on since 1 or 2 Opera updates ago, but I don't know if that's what caused this. I did report it when it started happening.

When I open a new tab, type a website name, and then hit ctrl + enter to autofill the www. and .com, the search does not initiate. If I re-select the URL bar and hit enter again, it will initiate, and if I manually enter the .com it works fine. This isn't happening in Chrome, so I know it's an Opera issue.

I made a fresh profile, which did fix it for about a day and then it stopped working again today. I have no extensions beyond what's built in (ad blocker), and disabling that didn't help. Disabling mods didn't help, clearing history/cache/cookies didn't help, and everything has been reset to default otherwise.

I recorded what happens when I try to ctrl + enter.

I don't know what is going on at Opera, they seem to be so hellbent on game integration that they have forgotten the main reason for having a browser. I have applications to do all the game stuff OPera does. I'll probably just go back to Edge and remove Opera from my computer. This tiny little bug is pissing me off that much. Having used CTRL + Enter since it was a thing, I'm now hard wired. Having to type a web address 2 or 3 times (because I'm so used to just using the hotkeys) is beyond tiresome.

It's better than simply refreshing the page but it's not the expected behaviour. I hope it can be fixed soon.

Good news, it seems to be fixed in Opera One 123.0.5669.47, right now we are in OperaGX 123.0.5669.43, so it shouldn't take so long to get an update with the fix.

Actually, itā€™s not good news ā€” itā€™s bad news. I hadnā€™t noticed at first, but after testing it again, I realized they basically removed that functionality. Now, pressing Ctrl + Enter works exactly the same as just pressing Enter.

You can briefly see the browser append ā€œwww.ā€ and ā€œ.comā€ for a few milliseconds, but then itā€™s immediately replaced by a normal Google search query.

That happens in Opera One 123.0.5669.47 and also in Opera Developer 125.0.5707.0.

What's currently happening is just that it refreshes the current page.

Compare to chrome behaviour to experience the diff.
