WordPress 4.2 - Keyboard shortcuts aren't working since the upgrade

[netomax]

In the codex it states

"The following shortcuts use different access keys: "Alt + Shift + letter" on Windows and Linux (and on Macs if you're running any WordPress version below 4.2), and "Ctrl + Opt (Alt) + letter" on Macs (when running WordPress 4.2 and above)."

On Windows 8.1 when I hit Alt + Shift + 1 for example to add H1 tag on selected text, nothing happens. Before the upgrade I was hiting Ctrl+1 to put H1.

In chrome nothing happens, but I made a test with Firefox, Alt-Shift-1 works to put H1 tag.

There is something really stange, why change something that was working?

Works for me in Chrome + Win 7. I'll download a Win 8.1 VM to test.

Tested in win8.1 in IE11, Firefox and Chrome, all shortcuts work as expected. Maybe you've set custom shortcuts in Chrome or have a custom/specific keyboard driver that may be interfering? Could you test with IE11 too and check if it behaves differently?

In Internet Explorer, when I hit Alt + Shift + 1 to add H1 tag on selected text, it works.
In Firefox it worked too.
In Chrome, I noticed today, that after the latest upgrade of Chrome, Alt + Shift + 3 adds H3 tag on selected text, but it only works from Alt + Shift + 3 to Alt + Shift + 8.
Alt + Shift + 1 goes to the first tab while Alt + Shift + 32, asks to close the WordPress post page.

I'll make some more tests with Chrome, and will disable all extensions, I'll come back to tell you

I hope this helps.

Tested in Chrome 46 on both Windows XP and 10, was not able to reproduce. All the shortcuts Alt + Shift + 1-8 work correctly for me. Also, no feedback in 6 months, would propose to close this ticket if no objections.
