Maxthon 1.6.2 "ctrl + shift + arrow" annoyance...

[Armando]

Ok, this is a stupid question... 
I could ask at the Maxthon forum, but I know that many forumers here use Maxthon.
I always use "ctrl + shift + arrow" to select words... But in Maxthon 1.6.2, this shortcut switches tabs. (Except when the cursor is in the address bar.)
It's a bit annoying IF all you want is to select words for editing. I've tolerated this for long enough. 
Anybody knows how to fix that (by removing the "ctrl + shift + arrow" shortcut in Maxthon or... some other solution...)  ???
Thanks a lot !!!!

i think Curt had a similar problem here and there is an option to turn off the hot-key combo.. maybe you'd want to give it a try..

AAaaaaaaahhhh!! Lanux. You see, I knew it was stupid! I just COULDN't find it! 
Like Curt, I'm willing to sacrifice the tab switching functionality for easier text editing...
Better than nothing, I guess.
Thanks !!

you're welcome, Armando.. the Maxthon devs could have included customizable hot-keys instead..

[Armando]

Yes! Definitely! 

[lanux128]

in the meantime you can use Autohotkey to remap the hot-keys..

I use AutoHotkey for many things, but... I haven't used it to remap hot-keys yet! Good idea.
In the other thread, hamradio also suggested using f2 and f3 to switch tabs. Works well for me.

mind showing some example how to do that? I'm AHK noob

i'm not exactly a Maxthon user.. tell me what are the keys that need changing & i'll post a simple script..
