How to change Chrome's search keyboard shortcut (Ctrl +F)
I would like to change Chrome's default page search keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + F) to something else (e.g Ctrl + M).
How can I do this?
There is a Shortcut Manager Chrome extension, but it doesn't seem to have an option for search.

The 'Browser action:' dropdown doesn't have a 'Find' option. Have you tried it yourself?

Chrome Browser forces a number of shortcut keys including Ctrl-F.
Ctrl-F always means find-in-current-browser-page. Strangely, Ctrl-F is one of the only keyboard combination that hasn't flipped 10 times since inception in 2008. If you want to change Ctrl-F behavior, you can, but you'll have to do it at the operating system level, to intercept and recast keycodes according to a rule set before your operating system presents the special-needs Chrome browser the keys it must hear to do what the user wants to do.
