       What the actual hell. Chrome installed a *global* Ctrl+G keyboard shortcut to launch Gemini even if I’m using a different app, and didn’t ask me about it.

       The tab with the setting is called “AI innovations.” Eat my whole ass!

       If anyone is curious, I discovered it by pressing Ctrl+G in Nova to go to a specific line in code.

       It literally conflicted with their own shortcut in web dev! https://issues.chromium.org/issues/480172712

       Since people are already asking:The nature of my work means I try to stay as close to a typical user’s experience, which means using Chrome without an ad blocker, because I believe this is still the most common desktop setup.I might reconsider that for my own sanity, though.

       A small sidebar: I consider it in small part macOS’s fault in not reigning that in. Apps can easily add global shortcuts and it’s really hard to debug which app reacts to one, especially if the reaction is not obvious. At Figma, I created an entire internal doc (“Shortcuts not working”) to track common offenders (e.g. 1Password, I don’t remember others).
