Ctrl+Alt is not considered a valid combination for extension shortcuts in Windows as it interferes with the behavior of the AltGr key and in order to maintain consistency across platforms, we disallow it for Mac as well.
For Chromium in Mac, Cmd key specified for shorcuts in the manifest is normalized to Ctrl key because of which Cmd+Alt is also disallowed in Mac. Firefox allows this Cmd+Alt combination for its extensions shortcuts.
Should we reconsider allowing Cmd+Alt as a valid combination in Mac?
