Description
## Expected
When using a hot key to preview markdown no other actions but previewing a note should take place.
### Observed
When using a Windows device the `ctrl+shift+p` shortcut conflicts with existing hot keys in other browser, like Firefox, where that instead opens a new private browser window. On MacOS devices this is not an issue.

Research direction
Start by tracing the Markdown preview shortcut and its Windows keyboard handling, then reproduce the conflict in Firefox on Windows. Done means the shortcut previews the note without triggering another browser action, while preserving the reported MacOS behavior.
