Description of the issue:
The buttons alt, f10 and alt gr are set as shortcuts to focus the menu bar by default, and upon being pressed select the ‘burger icon’ (3 horizontal bars). When I go to brave://settings/system/shortcuts and scroll down to ‘focus menu bar’ I am able to remove each of the 3 as a shortcut to focus the menu, but they are disabled only until I close the browser. When I open the browser again the shortcuts are reenabled without me touching them.
Other changes I make to shortcuts persist after relaunching Brave.
This is an issue primarily when using Alt + Tab to switch between tabs. For example, when I alt + tab from a League of Legends match to the browser, it also detects the alt press in the browser as me pressing the ‘focus menu bar’ shortcut, and selects the burger icon, even when I only intended to Alt + tab from one window to the other. (Though the same does not occur when alt tabbing from windows explorer, or the League of Legends client to the browser.)
How can this issue be reproduced?
-
Go to brave://settings/system/shortcuts
-
Scroll down to ‘focus menu bar’ (nearly halfway down)
-
Remove the shortcuts already set
-
Close and then open brave again
Expected result: The shortcuts remain disabled
Brave Version: 1.86.139
Additional Information: The 3 shortcuts don’t even behave exactly the same in the settings menu:
- Alt gr does not work for me as a shortcut, even if I want it to (might be due to me using a Hungarian keyboard), no matter what I set it to do
- F10 works as a shortcut, and if I remove this button as a shortcut, then relaunch brave it will once again be a shortcut to focus the menu bar, however it does not show up in the settings menu (despite being a functioning shortcut)
- Alt works as a shortcut, and if I remove it, then relaunch Brave it both works as a shortcut and shows up in the settings menu as a shortcut to focus the menu bar
Furthermore, I am able to manually set alt gr and f10 as shortcuts to do something else (though alt gr still does not work), but I am not able to set alt as a shortcut to do something else (just like ctrl and shift can’t be set as one button shortcuts), so setting it to a shortcut that does nothing in this context is out of the question.
