I was trying to look for a show called "B Positive" and every time I typed in my search, I would get switched to bing and it would delete the B and just search for Positive. This is very annoying and serves no purpose for me so I would like to be able to disable this. I'm using Opera GX and I like everything else about the browser so far other than that.

@viewer2012 My problem isn't with setting a default search engine, it's not being able to turn off the hotkey shortcuts for the other default engines that are integrated into the browser. Typing a b for instance forces the search to go through Bing even though Google is set as my default search engine. That's why I'm asking for a way to disable those hotkeys to be added. I hope this cleared things up.

@viewer2012 The whole point of this post is so I can have the option to do exactly that. The default search engines that are included with opera cannot be edited like that currently. You can only edit hotkeys for ones that you add yourself.

@sgunhouse I use the address bar to search. I'll try to find that thread you mentioned too thanks.

@burnout426 This wouldn't solve the issue as the moment they type the "y" in "yt" it would move to the yahoo search and then type a "t" afterwards. This is the issue with how things work currently and is why I opened this thread so long ago and have since moved away from this browser.

Edit- In hindsight I just remembered the problem only triggers after you put in a space from the shortcut letters. So this would probably work for their issue, my bad.
