How do I disable the “CTRL-SPACEBAR” new command mode feature? I have web apps which rely on ctrl-space for keyboard shortcuts.
This is the new feature which opens this menu
@coinzdude go to your settings and remove the shortcut?
The Ctrl and Space is the shortcut for Quick Commands
When you go to that and mouseover, you’ll see a - appear, click it to remove the command. Then, of course, you can hit Add to assign a different command if you would like to use it but with a different set of buttons.
I do not see a minus - sign next to Quick Commands and cannot delete it. The minus sign shows up on almost all other shortcuts. SIGH.
I do not see a minus sign either — @Saoiray can you share a screenshot?
Either way, you can go to the Quick commands entry, click Add and just make the keybinding something ridiculous that you’ll never press (for example, make the command Ctrl +J + K + L + M + N + O + P) which basically renders it non-existant
@Mattches and @kljlkAemkema let me be more clear on that though. You have to mouseover in the area for it to appear. If you don’t mouseover in the area, then you won’t see it.
So I had to move pointer to where it shows ^ Control and all or in the little blank space to the right of it, at which point the - appears and you can remove the command.
Then upon clicking the - it removes and would show like below:
Yes, but did you bring your mouse pointer over to it?
Meant to type you can’t see the cursor in the screenshot.
Of course, you can see the cursor in the screenshot I sent.
Interesting — that must be a Windows feature only. I see it on my Win10 machine (the minus button) but not on macOS. I’ll have to see why this isn’t part of the macOS version of the browser.
@kljlkAemkema can you please try my initial suggestion:
I tried the Add function first, but that did not disable the Control Space from the Quick Command function, meaning even with another shortcut for Quick Commands, typing Control Space brings up the Quick Command function. So, as a workaround I deleted one of the shortcuts that could be deleted and recreated the mac shortcut that I need using those keys.
So you essentially set the Ctrl + Space shortcut to a different action and that made it so it would no longer initiate the quick commands, is that correct?
No, I was previously using Control + Space to put my Macbook to sleep, but when I relaunched Brave, the updated version uses the Control + Space for Quick Commands, which as you’ve seen, cannot be deleted. So I deleted another Brave shortcut, I don’t remember what it was for and I am using that shortcut (Command B) to put my Mac to sleep.
