Sheets is consuming shift+search+left and shift+search+right

Project Member Reported by afakhry@chromium.org, Jun 12 2018

Issue description

These shortcuts are mapped to HOME and END. They're Search based and hence should act as system shortcuts and should not be hijacked by pages.

Lawrence reported: "When I'm editing the text in a cell in Sheets (via double click on cell), these new shortcuts seem to be captured by Sheets rather than the OS and always switch between sheets for me. So when I'm writing/editing with lots of text in a cell, it's hard to move through a line without using the mouse/touchpad."

Does this ever work previously?
Do we expect all Search based shortcuts should be handled by system first?
Re#2: Yes, Search based keys should not be hijacked. Look at AcceleratorRouter::ShouldProcessAcceleratorNow(): https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/ash/accelerators/accelerator_router.cc?type=cs&q=AcceleratorRouter::ShouldProcessAcceleratorNow&g=0&l=106

andrewxu@ Let's discuss when I'm back from OOO. In the meantime, try to take a look. If you have questions, please ask Oshima@.
Google Sheets is using search in multiple places:

Assuming we'll need to work with Sheets team on this. 
Afakhry@ and Andrewxu@ - lets chat before making changes.
