I have an FN key on my wireless keyboard, but using Ctrl+FN+F12 does nothing. But thanks for trying.

Jerry:

I have put in a ticket to the Vivaldi staff about this. However, if it were only Vivaldi, then it wouldn't work fine in Zorin, and not work in LinuxLite. LL is the only distro I've ever used, of dozens, where it doesn't work. So not sure what's going on.

Hi,

I do not use Vilvaldi but if on a laptop or a F-Lock keyboard, you could need to CTRL+Fn+F12 or activate the F-Lock then to CTRL+F12.
Hope this helps... o.O

If it were me, I'd be asking the people that made the browser. We don't block keyboard shortcuts, that would be malicious.

Since I began using LL 5 on June 4, 2020, I've been bothered about the keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+F12, not working in Vivaldi under LL 5. Ctrl+F12 is Vivaldi's shortcut for displaying the Vivaldi Settings page. I've never had a problem using that shortcut in any other Linux distro, and I've used many distros and various versions of the same distro.

I've delayed asking about it because I wasn't sure if it was something in my particular configuration of LL 5 or an actual bug or other anomaly in the distro.

So today I decided to do a test that could tell me if it was just a problem with my system or not. I installed Gnome Boxes, from Synaptic, into my LL 5 installation. In my opinion, it's much better and more polished than VirtualBox. Just be sure to include under Mark Recommended for Installation, qemu-system-x86. You'll need that too.

I then created a Boxes virtual machine for both Zorin-OS-15.2-Core-64 and LinuxLite 5.0, to test the use of Ctrl+F12 in Vivaldi, in two different distros.

In Zorin, Ctrl+F12 in Vivaldi works just fine, with no tinkering with keyboard shortcuts.

In LinuxLite 5.0, Ctrl+F12 in Vivaldi doesn't work, again, with no tinkering with keyboard shortcuts.

So it appears that it's definitely something in the LL 5.0 distro itself that's blocking the use of Ctrl+F12 in Vivaldi. That shortcut is NOT being used in my Keyboard application shortcuts.

I'd really like to see an answer for that.
