Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. 2. 3. What is the expected behavior? I spend a lot of time in the web browser. I'm left-handed, and many keyboard shortcuts used by default is very inconvenient for me =( For example: Ctrl+T, Ctrl+W or Ctrl+Shift+T. To create a new tab, I prefer to use Ctrl+↑; to close a tab – Ctrl+↓; to restore the last closed tab I'm used to press Ctrl+, (comma) Opera: http://jpegshare.net/cc/76/cc768394a51d907f9fdb5636a41e8f38.png.html http://jpegshare.net/a3/14/a31471d87f3bad4cf0c06242527b18f6.png.html http://jpegshare.net/31/fc/31fcf5a5456e82bc293cec35e3b718bd.png.html Vivaldi: http://jpegshare.net/0c/73/0c731b283fcffaa840a66844eb61aa7f.png.html http://jpegshare.net/40/1f/401fb3e41ff2bc378c4a3477039c3e32.png.html Why I can assign hotkeys for the extensions, but I can not do the same for all the other shortcuts in the browser? It's illogical and very inconvenient: http://jpegshare.net/0e/58/0e58cfa410a56d5f579389ad7ea0b358.png.html http://jpegshare.net/cd/18/cd183bd175e7da571739327c1d1df1c1.png.html By default any program should allow you to customize the keyboard shortcuts for yourself. This applies particularly to web browsers in which we spend a lot of time. Please add this basic functionality. Allow your users to make their favorite web browser as convenient as possible. Please... What went wrong? Chrome does not allow you to make it convenient by setting the keyboard shortcuts. Browser very difficult to use if you're a lefty =( Did this work before? No Chrome version: 56.0.2924.87 Channel: stable OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2) Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0

I want this functionality "out of the box" like in Opera and Vivaldi =D

Well, Vivaldi browser is a bad example because its implementation breaks all sites that define their own hotkeys overriding built-in ones so advanced text editors like Office online or CodeMirror/Ace can't intercept Ctrl-S, for example, as well as many other hotkeys. I don't know about Opera browser behavior though.

Marking this issue as untriaged, as it seems to be a feature request. Thanks...!!

Well, Chrome browser is also a bad example ;) For example (Ctrl+K when composing email in Gmail is not working): http://jpegshare.net/60/54/6054b4679407e5cd4cf7d692f3357ffa.png.html If any shortcut key does not work on the website, then it is the problem of the person who assigned these shortcuts in your browser.

However I agree, currently Chrome's keyboard shortcut handling for extensions is very far from being ideal, if not exactly bad: it'd be much more user-friendly to expose these shortcuts somehow (maybe on mouse hover over the toolbar icons, or maybe an additional icon in the omnibox a-la the one that's shown when a popup is blocked). FWIW in Vivaldi extension keyboard shortcuts don't work at all, which only confirms my point of it being a bad example.

Those keyboard shortcuts that are not convenient for me — those keyboard shortcuts that I would replace them with: New tab: Ctrl+T – Ctrl+↑ Close tab: Ctrl+W – Ctrl+↓ Exit: Ctrl+Shift+Q – Alt+Q Find in page: Ctrl+F – Alt+/ Jump to the address bar (omnibox): F6, Ctrl+L or Alt+D – F8 New incognito window: Ctrl+Shift+N – Ctrl+Shift+P Reopen closed tab: Ctrl+Shift+T – Ctrl+Comma Show/hide bookmarks bar: Ctrl+Shift+B – Ctrl+B Go to home page: Alt+Home – Ctrl+Space Go back: Alt+← – Ctrl+← or Backspace Go forward: Alt+→ – Ctrl+→ or Shift+Backspace Zoom in: Ctrl++ or Ctrl+Num plus – + or Num plus (without modifiers) Zoom out: Ctrl+- or Ctrl+Num minus – - or Num minus (without modifiers) Reset zoom to 100%: Ctrl+0 or Ctrl+Num 0 – 0 or Num 0 (without modifiers) All this I can easily do in the Opera, but not in Chrome =(

Bumping with sarcastic steps to reproduce. 1. Have unusually large fingers. 2. Attempt to press Escape while watching Youtube. 3. Press F1 at the same time, opening the help menu. 4. Try not to curse. 5. Curse every time. 6. Repeat to step 5 until posting to a help forum. 7. Get told by a help forum "Expert" to buy a "Learning Keyboard" 8. Succeed in not feeding him insults in the help forum. 9. Explain why the options he provided are unreasonable. 10.Recive link to a buried chromium forum with link from the suddenly helpful "Expert" 11.Post sarcastic bump the thread that goes as follows [snipped for Droste Effect expansion]

Is there any timeline on this? Is there even anyone reading these comments? There are issues going back 10 years asking for this: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=896 This seems like it should be fairly straightforward to implement, especially since other browsers based on Chromium already have this feature... This feature also would garner Google some much-needed good press, since it can be marketed as an "accessibility improvement" for handicapped/disabled people. I know Google loves its virtue signalling, after all.
