The alt+d shortcut on Chrome conflicts with focus on location bar

[benjaminjackman]

FYI I have been able to work around by pressing alt+shift+d

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the issue! Can you give me more info on that, alt+d does nothing in my chrome?

Sure! sorry for the lack details (was pretty sleepy when I wrote it up). I am using Ubuntu 14.04. When I press alt+d chrome it jumps to the address bar [1], and does not erase the current point.

However I have found if I press alt+shift+d the jump to address bar shortcut isn't activated and I can still erase points.

I can dig into the code, I am not sure, but i am guessing something like e.preventDefault() needs to be added to the handler.

1: you can see a lot of chrome shortcuts here -- https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/157179?hl=en this particular conflict is under address bar, and they refer to is as jump to address bar.

Oh I see, you are on Ubuntu, need to make a research for safe shortcuts I guess.

Ok that makes for now shift+alt+d works fine as a workaround for me.

I'm also experiencing this issue with my work machine, Chrome on Windows 10. shift+alt+d workaround also working as a solution for now.
