In the version 21.0.1432.0 of Opera, Ctrl+Backspace removes the last directory of the path component of the current URL (and I'm leaving the current page when using this shortcut). So I can't use Ctrl+Backspace for simple removal of the last word from the input field where I am typing now. Is there any way to return the previous behaviour?

You can re-define the ParentDirectory action that has Ctrl+Backspace for the shortcut, in the file Preferences.
Release version: %APPDATA%\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Preferences
Developer version: %APPDATA%\Opera Software\Opera Developer\Preferences
For example, add as follows:
"Keybindings": {
"Basic": {
"ParentDirectory": [ "Ctrl+Shift+Backspace" ]
}
}
Close Opera and backup the file Preferences before editing it.

I have tried this method but it breaks the Preferences file and Opera auto-renames it to "Preferences.bad" and creates a new Preferences file. This is my entire keybindings part, please tell me what's wrong:
"Keybindings": { "Basic": { "ParentDirectory": [ "Ctrl+Alt+Backspace" ] } "Settings": { "AdvancedEnabled": false } } – Ynhockey – 2014-05-13T09:53:02.257
1"Ctrl+Backspace" is actually a great feature, unless you're in a form editing. – Spiff – 2014-05-07T06:56:03.037
Indeed it is bug. Opera should be smart enough to not use that short when a textbox is focused. – PHPst – 2014-06-04T11:31:56.180
