The bug

The newly introduced version 2.4.0 adds a shortcut ctrl + k, which is already used by the browser to directly get into the search box of the browser. Please do not override this and any other default shortcuts of the browser.

This is up for discussion, as cmd/ctrl + k is normally used for trigger command palette in many web apps.

We can change the shortcut for the search action

Which browser is affected?
