Selecting text no longer working properly in Outlook Web App on MacOS

Well, it looks like MS might have made the behaviour a bit more sensible now… I've noticed in the last week that:

• Pressing or holding the Option key no longer brings up the accessibility features
• However, pressing it TWICE without typing anything else (inc arrow keys) does now bring up the accessibility features
• If the accessibility features appear, then tapping Opt again, or using the escape key, gets rid of them

This occurs (for me) even with the latest tampermonkey script posted here, which I'm quite impressed by given the script tries to nullify and/all opt-key presses. However, the accessibility features now pop up so rarely, and are easily dismissed if they do, that the script may no longer be necessary.

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

Not sure which of the many issues this thread has covered is the "usual" one!

However, the most recent - where holding down the option key brings up accessibility shortcuts and loses focus in the edit window - is fixed by https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/512765-fix-outlook-mac-hotkeys-hijacking

The previous issues don't seem to exist any more. If you're spotting something wrong, please post full details of how to recreate.

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 :)

You need to install the Tampermonkey extension first from the chrome web store. The script on greasyfork is for use within tampermonkey, it's not a chrome extension in its own right.

FYI tampermonkey is a way of putting your own code onto websites: here, the code we're asking it to run is just a few lines which override Outlook's behaviour around the option key. However in general, Tampermonkey can be very powerful and you should never install anything in it without being really, really sure it's what you want and that it comes from a trusted source.

Anyway, once the tampermonkey extension is installed, you can go back to the greasyfork link and click "Install script" and it will take you to the tampermonkey page for final confirmation. Or, if that fails, you can just copy/paste the script into a new tampermonkey script.
