Mac Chrome chord using COMMAND doesn't work

Hi guys,

Just some context...
We have some overridden browser functionality around clip commands in our rich text
editor (decorators and undecorators around CSS styles) . So we want to make sure that
people who use our product can use clip commands and they get the plaintext put into
the system clipboard on various browsers.

On Windows Chrome and IE, this works. I can use modifier keys through the actionbuilder
or chord. However, this does not work on Mac. You can repro it using a simple textarea
input.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to a page with a pre-populated textarea input on mac chrome.
2. Get a webelement to the textarea
3. we.sendKeys(Keys.chord(Keys.COMMAND, "A")); (where we is the WebElement for the
textarea)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: Pre-populated text is selected
Actual: No change

Selenium version: 2.43.1
OS: Apple Mac OSX 10.9.2
Browser: Google Chrome
Browser version: 37.0.2062

Thanks guys!
