I use the Outlook web app on MacOS, and selecting text word by word no longer works (shift + option + arrow on a Mac keyboard). This stopped working sometime this weekend. I tried multiple browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari) and multiple Macs (Two different MBAs and one MB Mini). I tried it on a PC and it works fine. It seems that something broken on the web app for Mac users over the weekend.

This is a critical shortcut for things like copying and pasting or deleting. Anyone having the same problem and has an idea of what to do about it?

    Which is the right script to use with tampermonkey? I'm still experiencing the usual issue. :/

    I'm getting this error when I click Install:

    'Learn more' (not pictured - far right of that Chrome notification bar) takes me to a page which doesn't seem to cater to the exact issue here (below). I'm not experienced enough to know if one of those many options is the one to fix this - I'm just a guy who wants to use Outlook :)

    I've just tested it.

    It works only in the case Option is pressed just a few times; after that, the cursor disappear because it selects the menu above... :( So sad...
