[ ] Jupyter Notebook : 5.4.1
[ ] jupyter-vim-binding : v2.1.0

Hi, I am able use ctrl+w/n (in chrome) by using gnome-tweak-tool, goto tab keyboard and mouse, set key theme to emacs(yes. not vim). This is by no means a fix, just a workaround for the browser limitation. Hopes this can help.

Tested on Ubuntu 16.04 Chrome 64bit ver. 67 Jupyter 5.5.0
