Keyboard shortcuts don't work in Vivaldi browser about disable-javascript HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @stealzy

It seems like the Vivaldi browser currently has a bug with shortcuts and web extensions (read e.g. this and this).

However, you can active the shortcuts. Just follow these steps:

1. In the Vivaldi browser, open your extensions page (vivaldi://extensions)
2. Click on the botton right on "Keyboard shortcuts"
3. Make sure that you have all dropdowns in the popup set to "Global" and not "Vivaldi"
4. Press OK

Now the shortcuts should work also in Vivaldi.
There you can also change the shortcut keys if you desire.

The shortcuts keys can only be changed in the Vivaldi browser though. At this moment, it is not possible for web extensions to dynamically define shortcut keys. They already have to be defined in the manifest.json file, which is a static file (and the web extension API doesn't provide a function to extend/change that information).

Let me know if you have any further questions or bugs!

Thanks for clarification and sorry for my ignorance.

No problem! Better to report something once too much than too few :)
