Opera Developer 64.0.3388.0 has now reserved Ctrl+Shift+Home and Ctrl+Shift+End.

Wow, well done. There is no way I will be able to use opera and loose possibility to select text to the beginning/end of file.... Looks like the switch to Opera didn't work out very well...

Should read better the replies in the forum. @stepm seems like if you upgrade to the last Opera version you change your medicine, You get Ctrl-Shift-3 back but loose some other keys.

@stepm In your case, a workaround may be (re)starting Autoit after starting Opera. If Autoit register the global keys every time it starts (as does Opera) last to register wins (overwrites previous registration) and yo may have Ctrl-shift-3 back.

I'm just wondering now why for some users Opera is globally stealing Ctrl-Shift-1/2/3/... and in my case it's Ctrl-Shift-Home/End/...

If it's configurable (registry, ...) I could remap the keys to some I never use.

Reported bug as DNAWIZ-68385 on Jul/30.

Note: didn't notice there was already a bug report for this...

Here too, as of a few days Opera is stealing keys:
Ctrl-shift-backspace
Ctrl-shift-end
Ctrl-shift-home
Ctrl-shift-insert
Ctrl-shift-page-down
Ctrl-shift-page-up

Very simple to verify:
download Nirsoft - HotKeysList from https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/hot_keys_list.html
launch HotKeysList with Opera not launched -> these keys don't appear in the global hotkeys list
launch Opera -> the keys are added to the global active hotkeys (press the refresh button to see the active keys list change immediately)
exit Opera -> the keys are removed from the global active hotkeys

And I don't even know why it's even doing this (so that I can try disabling the behaviour). I suppose that it's something to do with mediakeys, but disabled "Hardware Media Key Handling" and "Experimental system keyboard lock" in opera flags but no change.

These keys are used all the time in other programs, so if this doesn't go away quick, it seems that after some 20 years I'll finally stop using Opera, something that even all the removed functionalities that happened when they moved to the new chrome based builds hadn't been able made me move.
