Jose_49 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 (CRAP THE POST DELETED DUE TO THIS $&!&@&@Y@#@&@ AAAARGGG) OP note: I already had the post written but went to modify something and, thanks to the habit Ctrl + Backspace, it killed what I was filling out :angry: Original post (trying to recreate it): Seems that someone on Opera decided it was a good idea to put Ctrl + Backspace as a shortcut for going to Parent Directory. This has been getting to my nerves since I often mechanically delete words by using that combination. I stumbled upon someone with the same issue: http://superuser.com/questions/726337/is-there-a-way-to-disable-ctrlbackspace-behavior-in-opera-21-0-1432-0 But can?t find a way to actually implement that solution. Where should I put that piece of code? I have forgotten my password (again) on Stack Exchange and it seems that the recovery is broken. That?s why I?m asking here directly. Thanks a million!

+Zlip792 MVC Posted May 8, 2014 MVC Share Posted May 8, 2014 Open RUN using Win Key + R Copy paste this if you have Opera Stable 21: %APPDATA%\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Preference Open with dialog will appear and will ask you how to open, either use Notepad or if you have Notepad++ or Sublime Text etc then go with it. Simple copy paste below after first curly bracket "Keybindings": {"Basic": {"ParentDirectory": [ "Ctrl+Shift+Backspace" ]}} If still can't understand, I can make video for you for whole process..

Jose_49 Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Thanks Zip! Unfortunately Opera is renaming the file to Preferences.bad :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose_49 Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Thanks Zip! Unfortunately Opera is renaming the file to Preferences.bad :/ Edit: WAIT WAIT WAIT!!! I got it! WOOOHOOOO! Thanks a million. It's very important to have indented correctly the text. I put two spaces before "basic" and 4 spaces before "ParentDirectory". It seems that not doing so will result in Opera flagging the file and creating a new one. +Zlip792 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose_49 Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 I'm still amazed why in the world would someone modify this shortcut... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
