Keyboard shortcuts sometimes don't work
-
I'm using "no UI" mode, so using shortcuts there is crucial. But for some reason randomly after opening the tab keyboard shortcuts stop working: Quick Commands (F2), Address bar (F8), even Close Tab (Ctrl+W)!
Workaround is to restart browser or close tab via menu.

@RadRussianRus Any particular page?
-
@Pesala No. It can be any page. Most of the times it was GitHub though.
Browser version: 2.2.1388.37 (but happened earlier too)
OS: Windows 10 Pro 1809I'll add more info if I find something.

@RadRussianRus Did you resolve this issue yet?
-
@Pesala
Sadly, no. But I noticed something. Looks like it happens only with "Speed Dial".Example steps:
- Visit site
- Back to Speed Dial page with navigation keys (i use Alt+Left Arrow)
- Try to press any other hotkey
Most of times it works as it should, but sometimes all hotkeys are locking. Opening side panel from menu, or opening any site from Speed Dial cures it.
-
Looks like I caught page that always blocks all hotkeys.
https://games.cdn.gamee.io/games/game-161/data/index.htmlAnd I guess I found reason for this mess. If script uses
preventDefault
inonkeydown
, it blocks all hotkeys. So, this codewindow.onkeydown = function(e) { e.preventDefault(); }
is all what needed to block all hotkeys in Vivaldi.
-
@Pesala, sorry for bothering. Any news on this? The problem still persists on 2.5.1525.43.
-
@RadRussianRus No surprise that that site blocks shortcuts. They are needed to play the game.
-
Well, F8, for example, is not needed for the game, but it's still blocked. And it sometimes happens on sites like GitHub, where no games persist.
-
I experience the same issue, at random times, then it fixes itself for no obvious reason. I have not been on that game, and I have not noticed a correlation with github use (it might be there, just haven't noticed). Makes it hard to reproduce I know. I don't even use the speed dial. I do have a bad habit of running 3 instances of Vivaldi with dozens of tabs open tho haha
-
P.S. I am guessing it must be accessing a certain site that triggers it. All instances of Vivaldi lose keybind functions until I close the right instance. Then the others resume working instantly. I guess I should close tabs one by one next time it happens and find the culprit.
