Unable to reproduce the issue on mac 10.12.2 with chrome version #57.0.2987.13

These are the steps followed
1. Open the chrome and go to dev tools
2. Pasted sample java script and executed it.

Observed that the keyboard shortcuts like ctrl+c, ctrl+v, ctrl+x are working as expected.

Attaching the screencast for your reference.
ckm2k1@, Could you retry the same scenario with clean profile with no apps/extensions and let us know your observations.

I'm not familiar with these shortcuts, but alt-b and alt-f enter the 'integral' and 'function' symbols on my Mac.

I tried to do control-alt-b and control-alt-f on Mac Canary 58.0.3010.0 and they seem to jump the cursor to the last/next word group.

Could you please check on the latest Canary?

@luoe
You're right that by default the alt+{key} binding normally inserta special unicode symbols in the default OSX setup. 

However, if you rebind alt+f/b as follows: 
====
"~f"="moveWordForward:";
"~b"="moveWordBackward:";
====
in your systems keybindings.dict, you will have the same functionality as alt+left/right which jumps words forwards and backwards. This works correctly in any textarea, textbox or any other keyboard input area.

Looking at the code, the change of the Console widget to CodeMirror broke this support because CodeMirror binds listeners to all keys and only executes those for which it has a configured binding. This means that any user who modified their OS keyboard config to replace the defaults will no longer be able to use those keys in Console unless CodeMirror has those exact bindings with the same functionality.
