Description

The accesskey for minoredits SHIFT+ALT+I (Windows) is natively (keyboard shortcut) occupied on Chrome (long time, I guess 2 years, but the MediaWiki since 2003?) for bug report (window).
So we can say Google is working against Wikimedia and the question is, is this a Chrome bug? (I asked and reported there too)

Chrome keyboard shortcuts https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/157179?hl=en
It is not Chromium related (has this feature not).

Workaround: You need a way to the internal hidden Chrome settings or installing an extra App.
(PS: As Wikimedia is now a member of the W3C as Google Chrome, they could talk together ;-))

@Perhelion: What is "bug report (window)"? No, nobody "is working against" so no need for accusation. One can also talk without being W3C members...

Hey @Aklapper "working against": this was indeed only a not serious metaphor ("we can say", or this only my bad English :P).

PS: There is no open bug report because Chrome seems not to have one anymore (only Chromium https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40703/where-can-i-find-and-submit-bug-reports-on-googles-chrome-browser). As suggested (from this feedback window), I posted instead in the "community forum" with no response.
