I tried doing this, but it didn'twork. I hate the shortcuts that don't require ctrl or something to be held down. I want them removed so the page doesn't randomly change while I'm reading (I have a habit of pressing keys when I read) but this is of no help at all. I removed the shortcuts but I can still do them.

This didn't work at all. I can change stuff all day long, but it doesn't actually change the shortcut.

Tamil, as a curiosity, why must you duplicate the Opera Standard keyboard set-up before adding a new keyboard shortcut?

Can you you not just add the keyboard shortcut to the existing keyboard set-up (i.e. without going through the duplication process)?

You can do it but when you modify Opera Standard setup, Opera will create Opera Standard (Modified) setup. If you modify Opera Standard keyboard set-up again, Opera will another Opera Standard (Modified) setup. This will cause confusion.

Makes sense. Thanks for the information.
