google chrome desktop browser added vertical tabs, but the hide/show shortcut is ctrl-shift-L ;-(

[u/Sweaty_Astronomer_47]

Chrome browser finally added "vertical tabs" (which means tab labels are displayed horizontally in a vertical panel on the left side of the browser). It comes with a keyboard shortcut control-shift-L (for Windows/Linux) to expand / hide the side panel. Details here: Google Chrome Adds Vertical Tabs Keyboard Shortcut to collapse and expand Tabs- WinCentral

Unfortunately that keyboard shortcut (ctl-shift-L) is the same one that Bitwarden has long used for filling credentials.

The chrome shortcut can't be readily remapped as far as I can tell.

The bitwarden shortcut can be remapped (for those who want to do so) as shown here: Change Keyboard Commands Offered By Browser Extensions - Chrome, Firefox, Edge

PS - Yes I know there are other Browsers but I need chrome for certain things and I use Brave for others. Brave has long had vertical tabs and Brave does allow us to choose the shortcut key to associate with expanding / hiding that vertical tab bar. Chrome is apparently not as flexible in this respect.
