There is a shortcut in the Google Chrome Developer Tools which happen to trigger every times I try to type the [ or ] character in the console. The shortcut in question probably is Alt+[, Alt+^ or [ and it moves the tabs (of the Chrome Developer Tools) to the last selected one. This shortcut is simply blocking me from typing the [ or ] in the console and I want to either disable it or edit it to something else. How can I edit or disable that shortcut ?

Note : I'm not really using the shortcut in the developers tools, so if it's only possible to disable all shortcut it would be a viable solution.

You have stumbled upon an undocumented shortcut in Google Chrome. The shortcut that you mention is actually Ctrl + [, which scrolls through each of the developer tabs in sequence from right to left.

A quick way around it is to use the Keyconfig extension to re-map Ctrl + [ to no action.
