How to disable hotkey ALT, which leads to open menu of the browser
-
I am using combination ALT+SHIFT+1 to set english first language of typing. Open menu on pressing ALT for me is annoying. How to disable opening vivaldi menu on ALT? Attachments: [img]https://forum.vivaldi.net/uploads/attachments/86280/Screenshot_1.jpg[/img]

It cannot be disabled. However, if you press shift first, then Alt + 1 there is no problem.
There is also no problem if you don't release the Alt key before pressing Shift.
-
Then every software must be a pain for you, as they all start the window menu when pressing and releasing ALT. Go try it on any other window.

@AbFour:
yes, seems to be a buggy thing - and annoying, too.
no need to disable ALT, but Vivaldi must certainly do some fine-tuning here.example:
I've got LastPass extension on Vivaldi.
LastPass usually reacts on hotkey ALT+w by default in any other browser I tested, but Vivaldi messes things up. -
Please add the option to disable openning menu on Alt. Really annoying.
-
@xDShot don't press alt alone then. Every Windows program open its menu on alt pressed and released alone. What you are asking to Vivaldi team is to bypass an hardcoded behaviour, it can be done, but at the risk of breaking something else.

Every
No. Not even all apps use Ctrl+S to save work, for example
Normally it shouldn't open when I switch layout. The problem is that sometimes I press Alt+Shift too fast, but even that I get switching layout instead of openning menu in ALL apps. Only in Vivaldi it opens menu if I press too fast. I checked this behaviour in Firefox. If I simply press Alt, it opens menu, yes. When I press Alt+Shift, it won't, no matter how fast i press. The same for other apps.
If you are native English speaker, try adding second layout in your system and set switching on Alt+Shift and try switching in Vivaldi and other apps.

I don't think it's something hard to change.

BTW, I'm on Linux, but it seems that it happens for OP in Windows too, so I don't think it's some kind of system stuff...

This is "Vivaldi browser for Windows" subforum, of course I assume we are talking about Windows behaviour in here.

You're bumping a almost 5 years old thread, a lot have changed in the meantime.
Search in the settings "alt" and you'll find "Alt key for main menu", untick it and Alt will not ever open the menu for you. -

Searched "alt" in the settings and I've found "Alt key for main menu", unticked it and Alt does not ever open the menu for me.However, I'm trying to set up Alt-X and Alt-Z extension shortcuts. So while they work if I set them to Global, they do not work if set in Vivaldi, and disabling Alt key for main menu did not fix this. Which is upsetting, considering these hotkeys work as intended in Chrome.

@rrx No extension shortcut (except for the main one toggling the extension’s popup) ever worked without global, at least as far as I can remember. This never had anything to do with the alt key for main menu setting.

I just had this issue with a graphing site. Mine was fixed after I removed the keyboard shortcut for an extension.
