[BUG] Alt+Q specifically triggers the menu in OPERA

[g33khubber]

Bug Description

Interestingly of all shortcuts, Alternate Q is the only one that triggers the menu, and it is not a native shortcut within Opera. So is there any way for me to disable it from triggering the menu?

System Information

App Version: 0.75

Operating System:
w11

uhhh... this seems like something related to opera? not handy?

It is tied to both Handy & Opera, because without Handy - Alt+Q does not trigger the menu in Opera.

I ran into something similar. I setup "Alt + z" for push to talk, and I was seeing a high rate of failure, after some troubleshooting, I realized that the slightest delay in pressing "Alt + z" the combination triggers "Alt" first which takes the focus to the menu of the app and hence pulls the focus from the text area. This is just how Windows works and nothing to do with Handy.
I switched the transcribe shortcut to "Pause/Break" key and everything is super smooth now.

I realized I also can't assign single keys like ScrollLock or Numlock.
