Can't comment on your browser specifically, just that single key shortcuts which are normal input values is not a good idea. People are used to shortcuts with meta keys proceeding them. It's an established behavior and expectation beyond any one system or tool.

Yeah, it's something we thought about a lot before implementing the current system.

We think apps like Superhuman have brought the idea of single-key shortcuts into the forefront, and we really like how much more memorable they are for most users.

We'll definitely learn from our users' feedback though, and we'll work on a solution with them if they have issues with it :)
