FAQ
Can shortcuts be changed?
Some can. In the shortcuts page of settings you can assign new combinations to screenshot, incognito and other features; core browser shortcuts are fixed by the system.
A shortcut does nothing — why?
It may clash with an input method or another program, or focus may not be on the page (for example you are in the address bar). Click the page and try again.
