Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. try to use the shortcut for 'step over next function call' - which is ctrl and single-quote

nothing happens

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 56.0.2924.87  Channel: stable

Using UK keyboard. Apparently, it also doesn't work for an EU keyboard.

Ah interesting. Yeah I bet it's likely the UK/EU keyboard is throwing things off. 

If that's the case, then I bet this keyboard shortcut never worked on those keyboards. :(


Summary: DevTools: shortcut ctrl+' doesn't work on UK/EU keyboard (was: ctrl+' doesn't work)
Previously, I had been using a laptop with a US/Chinese keyboard layout, and these shortcuts made quite a lot of sense. Having switched, they make much less sense, so I wonder if perhaps they could be changed depending on the layout.

For example, before the [\;'] keys are all close to each other, so you could almost drive 'with one hand'. On the UK keyboard, the \ key is all the way over on the left, so using it is a pita (have to switch hands). However, the [;'#] keys are all next to each other so it would make sense (to me) to match them to the {resume,step over,step into} buttons - then they'd almost be better than the US keyboard since they're actually all in a line, like the buttons on the UI :)
