Control+Shift+L clashes with Google Docs shortcut

[FenyLabs]

When I do ctrl+shift+l to left align on Google Docs, the popup appears telling me I haven't selected anything to copy the link to. This also prevents the shortcut from working (the text is still center aligned). I am on a Chromebook, if that has anything to do with the shortcut not working. I'm a little disappointed that 3 Google products clash and don't work together properly.

You can customize the extension’s shortcut by pasting chrome://extensions/shortcuts into the URL bar. You can then choose something that doesn’t clash with other apps.

Might be worth adding this to the extension overview — I had the same problem.

I'm all open to a new shortcut default. Any ideas? My idea was to have something with an 'L' for "Link to Text Fragment".

Maybe no default shortcut, but explain how to add one?

(I just right-click — might be worth making that method really clear.)

Hi, I also just came here to complain about the clashing shortcut, and the inability to change it. I never knew there's a way to configure Shortcuts to Chrome Extensions (like you pointed out above at chrome://extensions/shortcuts ) Unfortunately I'd say don't configure a default shortcut unless there's a way in the Extension options to change / disable the shortcut or point to chrome://extensions/shortcuts

Thanks for the input. I've removed the suggested default hotkey, which means there won't be a clash anymore for all users, and power users can still set their own preferred hotkey. The new version will be released in the next days.

Need to update Pro Tip

Thank you for the reminder, I have updated the pro-tip and the change should go live once the new description gets approved.
