Actually it looks like quite a lot of shortcuts are conflicting, if not all. The Control+Option "space" seems to be used by VoiceOver.

  • Focuses accessibility added
  • Milestone set to Future Release
  • Status changed from new to reopened

I'm reopening this issue for the same reason I've reopened #43773. Worth considering many users with accessibility needs will stick to the Classic Editor. These users need keyboard shortcuts to work with their screen readers. This ticket applies to all the keyboard shortcuts that use Control+Option+something, as many of these combination are already used by VOiceOer on macOS.

Specifically for the Help modal shortcut, there's now https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/45791

Also, the same issue can be reproduced on Gutenberg, see ​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/11154

The shortcut was changed to Shift + Alt/Option + H. This doesn't seem to conflict with anything.

Thanks @azaozz :) I think the only thing left is the iframe title? On a mac, it still says

Rich Text Area. Press Control-Option-H for help.

WordPress 5.1 is in soft string freeze though. Maybe is it possible to use the string for Windows?

Yeah, it should use the same string as on Windows. Will try to see why it's different on a Mac.
