Description

A colleague asked whether it was intentional that the shortcut for screen reader mode is the same as the shortcut to turn on ChromeVox. I mentioned this in chat to @maribethb but raising as an issue here so it doesn't get lost.

I don't have a Chomebook to hand, but it seems likely this will go wrong for screen reader users.

The implementation calls preventDefault, so maybe they lose the shortcut? Or it'll turn on screen reader mode but also turn their screen reader off (assuming the common case where it was already on at this point).
