Description
What happened?
In our WPF application with WebView2 hosted portions, Alt + Shift + S shortcuts seem to be captured in WebView2, causing the web application to not receive them.
In Chrome, these shortcuts function as expected. In Edge, we see a Visual Search pop-up, which we assume is related to the underlying issue.
Importance
Moderate. My app's user experience is affected, but still usable.
Runtime Channel
Stable release (WebView2 Runtime)
Runtime Version
101.0.1210.39
SDK Version
1.0.2535.41
Framework
WPF
Operating System
Windows 11
OS Version
262000.8037
Repro steps
In a WPF application with WebView2 hosted activities, Alt + Shift + S doesn't work in the WebView2 activities. All other Alt + Shift + Letter combos correctly result in a response.
Expected behavior is for these shortcuts to work properly.
Repros in Edge Browser
