Please give users a way to disable those shortcuts that can be plain frustrating. 

+1 for this, I have custom shortcuts with Shift + Ctrl + Alt for typing accented capital letters like À or É.

command-shift-N means "open a new tab in incognito mode", which I do if I'm about to search for stuff where the SEO merchants have been at work and have infested the Internet with pages full of ads.

If I'm in Confluence, it becomes command-shift-N, command-Z, command-N, command-shift-N, (do what I wanted) and then command-W at the end because I have a rubbish empty Safari window that I opened purely so Confluence couldn't steal focus.

as a workaround for Firefox you can globally block websites from overriding keyboard shortcuts:

• type "about:config" into the address bar
• search for "permissions.default.shortcuts"
• change it from 0 to 2

For me the issue also is that I'm used to the Ctrl + 1/2/3/... shortcuts to quickly switch tabs.

We document table names that start with and contain underscores. Which triggers HTML italics. It is labor-intensive to work around this.

I.e. TableName_Detail   transforms to  _TableNameDetail

My pain point is the ⌘1-⌘8 shortcuts on Mac Chrome, to switch tabs. This is unbelievably annoying. Shortcuts in general are very useful but Confluence shouldn't intercept primary shortcuts like this that are probably part of almost every user's muscle memory. There needs to be a way to remap shortcuts or selectively disable them, or just an alternate set of shortcut mappings that doesn't override such primary browser functionality.

Definitely interested in this! 

+1 for this function. Not being able to use the ⌘1-⌘8 shortcuts to switch Chrome tabs when I'm in an active Confluence editor tab is incredibly annoying.

I really hope this function.

Would be very useful to have the option to disable hot keys.
