In computing, a keyboard shortcut is a sequence or combination of keystrokes on a computer keyboard which invokes commands in software. Most keyboard shortcuts require the user to press a single key or a sequence of keys one after the other. Rebind Ctrl+Shift+Q to something less annoying. This worked on Linux, anyway. Not sure if there is anything preventing it being remapped on other OSes. More advanced option would be to rebind it to not do anything using Autohotkey, which is an incredibly useful tool. You could also make it rebind to nothing only while in Chrome. Select all items in window or document: CTRL + A Copy: CTRL + C or CTRL + INSERT; Cut: CTRL + X Paste: CTRL + V or SHIFT + INSERT Take a screenshot: Windows logo key + PrtScn (Print Screen) or Fn + Windows logo key + Space Bar. Alternatively referred to as Control Q and C-q, Ctrl+Q is a shortcut key that varies depending on the program being used. For example, in Microsoft Word, Ctrl+Q is used to remove the paragraph's formatting.

To use a keyboard shortcut, press and hold one or more modifier keys and then press the last key of the shortcut. For example, to use Command-C (copy), press and hold the Command key, then the C key, then release both keys. Mac menus and keyboards often use symbols for certain keys, including modifier keys:

On keyboards made for Windows PCs, use the Alt key instead of Option, and the Windows logo key instead of Command.

Some keys on some Apple keyboards have special symbols and functions, such as for display brightness , keyboard brightness , Mission Control, and more. If these functions aren't available on your keyboard, you might be able to reproduce some of them by creating your own keyboard shortcuts. To use these keys as F1, F2, F3, or other standard function keys, combine them with the Fn key.
