Web site shortcuts conflicting with Opera's

Hi all

Nowadays some web-based applications implement their own hot keys (or
shortcuts) that conflict with Opera shortcuts. E.g. Google spreadsheets
mimic MS Excel by using F2 or single characters for editing cells (F2
conflicts with "Go to page" dialog, and single characters conflict with
single-key shortcuts in Opera). These shortcuts in web applications are
useful and annoying at the same time! I'd like to ask Opera developers to
provide a shortcut for enabling/disabling web site shortcuts. That way one
could switch to web page shortcuts, start working with a spreadsheet or
something, then switch back to browser shortcut mode and press '1' or '2'
for jumping to left or right tab.

Thanks,
Aram

This is the reason why they're disabled by default now. But to answer your
question:
